This page presents my projects, organized into ongoing teaching initiatives and ongoing and completed research projects. They span Empirical Software Engineering, Open Science, Digital Forensics, and Cybersecurity, and involve national and international collaborations.
Ongoing Teaching & Educational Projects
Support for Open Science Education for Undergraduate and Graduate Students
This teaching project addresses the growing demand for training undergraduate and graduate students and faculty in Open Science concepts and practices. It promotes cultural change in research practices through openness, accessibility, collaboration between academia and industry, and alignment with the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals.
The project involves the study of Open Science principles, the development of Open Educational Resources, and structured teaching and dissemination activities.
Ongoing Research Projects
Research, Practice, and Education on Rigor and Transparency in Empirical Software Engineering Studies Supported by Open Science Practices
This project promotes scientific rigor and transparency in empirical Software Engineering by integrating Open Science practices, aligned with the Paraná 2040 plan and focused on key sectors such as health, security, and education. It aims to assess and enhance rigor and reproducibility, develop Open Science practices and educational methods, and generate social, economic, and technological impacts through more reliable software and increased innovation.
Evidence-Based Digital Forensics Supported by Open Science Practices
Evidence-based Digital Forensics supported by Open Science practices, focusing on rigor, transparency, reproducibility, and responsible dissemination of research artifacts.
