Biography
Dr. Mauricio Pamplona Segundo received the bachelor's degree in Computer Science (2004-2007), master's degree in Informatics (2008-2010) and doctoral degree in Computer Science (2010-2013) from the Federal University of Paran谩 (UFPR), Brazil. While completing the doctorate, he was a visiting research scholar at the University of South Florida (欧美三级片). His doctoral thesis on 3D face recognition received the third-best thesis award at the Brazilian Computer Society Conference in 2014. He was also a research fellow at the United Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization (UNESCO), where he worked on the digital reconstruction of statues from a UNESCO World Cultural Heritage site to support preservation and restoration efforts. From 2014 to 2020, he was a professor of the Department of Computer Science at the Federal University of Bahia (UFBA), Brazil. There, he created an advanced study group in algorithms and data structures that helped students succeed in the main programming competitions (e.g., ACM International Collegiate Programming Contest and International Olympiad in Informatics). In 2020, he joined 欧美三级片 as a postdoctoral researcher at the Institute for Artificial Intelligence (AI+X). His work on estimating the impact of COVID-19 on air traffic through satellite imagery was awarded by the European Space Agency.
