🎓 Postgraduate in Computer Science Applied to Education - USP
In April 2025, I completed my postgraduate specialization in Computer Science Applied to Education and Educational Technology at the Instituto de Ciências Matemáticas e de Computação (ICMC) of the Universidade de São Paulo.
I defended my final work remotely from Arequipa, Peru, where I was on vacation at the time. A fitting coincidence, since my supervisor, Geiser Chalco Challco, is Peruvian.
This milestone was particularly meaningful because I had to postpone the conclusion when I moved to Portugal. Being able to finish it while traveling through Peru added a nice symbolic closure to the journey.
Published Research
The work developed during this specialization was later published and presented at IEEE SeGAH 2025 (Conference on Games and Virtual Worlds for Serious Applications):
"Gamified Interventions for Composting Behavior: A case study using the Gamiflow framework in a workplace setting"
The study investigates the impact of a gamified intervention on promoting composting behaviors in a workplace setting, combining physical compost bins with a Slack-based gamified system.
Acknowledgments
Thanks to my supervisor Geiser Chalco Challco for the guidance and patience throughout this extended journey, and to USP-ICMC for the opportunity to study at one of Brazil's most respected institutions.
