I am an Assistant Professor in the School of Informatics, Computing, and Cyber Systems at Northern Arizona University. I completed a Ph.D. in Computer Science at the Institute of Mathematics and Statistics at the University of São Paulo in 2015.  Previously, I was a visiting scholar at the University of California, Irvine from July 2013 to January 2014. I am also a member of the Software Engineering and Collaborative Systems Research Group from the University of São Paulo, and the Research Group on Information Systems from the State University of Maringá (UEM).

I research the intersections of Software Engineering (SE) and Computer Supported Cooperative Work (CSCW). Currently, I am working on the support of newcomers to Open Source Software development communities, in addition to understanding the impacts of Foundational Models in Education and in Software Development (from a human perspective). I am interested in Open Source Software, Human Aspects of Software Engineering, Empirical Software Engineering, and Mining Software Repository techniques. 

Recently, I was the general co-chair of ICSME 2024, general co-chair of ICPC 2024, and PC co-chair for SBES 2024. Previously, I chaired CHASE 2023, was the PC co-chair of ICSSP/ICGSE 2022, OSS 2022, and SBES-IIER 2022, co-chair of ICSE SCORE 2021, co-chair of MSR FOSS award 2019 and 2020, Associate Chair for ACM CSCW 2021, among others. I was part of several PCs, including ICSE, ICSE-NIER, MSR, CSCW, ICGSE, OSS, and EASE.

I review for several journals and I am part of the Editorial Board of:
