Maicon Melo Alves

Dr. Maicon Melo Alves is a senior system analyst and academic professor specialized in High Performance Computing (HPC) systems. In the last five years, he got interested in understanding how HPC systems have been used to leverage Artificial Intelligence applications. To better understand this topic, he completed in 2021 the MBA in Data Science of Pontifícia Universidade Católica of Rio de Janeiro (PUC-RIO). He has over 25 years of experience in IT infrastructure and, since 2006, he works with HPC systems at Petrobras, the Brazilian energy state company. He obtained his D.Sc. degree in Computer Science from the Fluminense Federal University (UFF) in 2018 and possesses three published books and publications in international journals of HPC area.
