I'm Filipe Mutz and I do research on robotics and artificial intelligence.
Since April, 2022, I am a professor in the department of informatics
at the Federal University of Espírito Santo (UFES), Brazil.
At UFES, I manage along with Prof. Maurice Barcellos da Costa and
Prof. Roberta Lima Gomes the
NCD,
a program for digital inclusion of vulnerable communities.
Before, from 2014 to April, 2022, I was a professor in the department of information systems and in the
postgraduate program in applied computing at the Federal Institute
of Espírito Santo (IFES), Brazil. From 2020 to 2022, I participated in IFES' productivity researcher
program. From May, 2012, to November, 2013, I was a computer vision researcher at
Mogai IT.
I am generally interested in robotics and artificial intelligence. My current focus is on applications
of neural networks for medical image analysis. Previously, I worked on perception, localization, and mapping for
self-driving cars, and reinforcement learning.
I received a B.Sc. in Computer Science, a M.Sc. in Informatics, and a Ph.D. in Computer Science from the
Federal University of Espírito Santo (UFES) in 2012, 2014, and 2019,
respectively. During my Ph.D., I visited the Swiss AI Lab IDSIA
for a year under supervision of Juergen
Schmidhuber.
