Associate Professor of Software Engineering at the State University of Maringá (UEM), Maringá-PR, Brazil. His research lies at the intersection of Empirical Software Engineering, Open Science, Reproducibility, and Digital Forensics Experimentation, focusing on the design, execution, and evaluation of controlled and quasi-experiments, as well as the definition of research artifacts, metadata, conceptual models, and ontologies that support transparency, rigor, and long-term reusability of empirical studies. A central theme of his work is understanding how openness, reproducibility, and transparency can strengthen the reliability of scientific evidence and improve research practices in Software Engineering and Digital Forensics.
He holds a Bachelor's degree in Informatics and a Master's degree in Computer Science from the State University of Maringá, and a PhD in Computer Science and Computational Mathematics from the Institute of Mathematical and Computer Sciences at the University of São Paulo (ICMC-USP). He also completed a postdoctoral internship in Digital Forensics Experimentation at PUC-RS. He is an Associate Professor in the Department of Informatics (DIN) at the State University of Maringá (UEM).
He has extensive experience in Computer Science, with emphasis on Software Engineering, working mainly in the areas of Software Processes, Software Product Lines, Software Architecture and Product Line Evaluation, Software Process Lines, Variability Management, Software Metrics and Models, Frameworks, UML Modeling and Metamodeling, Development Environments, and Java Technologies. He also has experience in Digital Forensics, particularly in experimentation, requirements, ontologies, conceptual models, and digital forensics tools.
