Honors and Awards

  • 2022
    Atos/GENCI Joseph Fourier Prize
    ATOS/GENCI, Bezons, France
    • This prestigious prize reward works in advanced computing (supercomputing, quantum computing, edge computing) and artificial intelligence. A jury of independent specialists and representatives of the French scientific and industrial world chooses and rewards several innovative projects. I, conjointly with Professor Denis Trystram, was awarded first place in the "Artificial Intelligence" category. My contribution to our contest submission, entitled do better with less, involves improving the operation of High-Performance Computing platforms, particularly by using Machine Learning to optimize the order of the applications to be executed.
  • 2020
    Best PhD Thesis award
    XXI Symposium on High Performance Computing Systems (WSCAD); Santo André, Brazil
    • The contest judges and awards the best Brazilian theses in Computer Architecture and High-Performance Computing each year. It is a high-level scientific excellence contest since all yearly PhD theses in the disciplines above can apply for the contest. My thesis was awarded first place in the 2020 edition of this contest
  • 2019
    Best Paper Award
    19th IEEE/ACM International Symposium on Cluster, Cloud and Grid Computing, Larnaca, Cyprus
  • 2017
