I obtained a Ph.D. and M.Sc. in Natural Language Processing, both earned in Computer Science and Computational Mathematics from the University of São Paulo (USP). I also hold a BS in Information Systems and a BA in Linguistics. During my Ph.D., I was a visiting researcher at the University of Southern California (USC) in the USA and an invited researcher and speaker at the Leibniz Institute for the Social Sciences (GESIS) in Germany. I was also honored to receive the prestigious Google Latin America Research Award (LARA). Additionally, I have actively contributed to ACL and AAAI conferences and workshops, serving as a program committee member and co-organizing ICWSM, along with ACL shared tasks on hate speech in 2023 and 2024. Currently, I am one of the organizers of the 9th ACL Workshop on Online Abuse and Harms (WOAH 2025) and the IJCNN Special Session on Explainable Deep Neural Networks for Responsible AI (DeepXplain 2025). My research focuses on enhancing the interpretability of neural language models, while ensuring their safety, factuality, and fairness. I am particularly interested in addressing challenges related to misinformation and hate speech, and in developing methods and evaluation benchmarks that improve transparency and accountability in AI systems.
