Gustavo Pessin, D.Sc. (2013) has a strong background in building intelligent applications, integrating Machine Learning, IoT and Robotics to deploy Industrial and Environmental Applications. Pessin has dedicated efforts to create better and safer systems for industry and to help the understanding of ecological systems. Intelligent systems for industry have been developed for mineral activities, improving transportation safety and optimizing both extraction and production by means of instrumentation and development of machine learning tools to deal with image and sound recognition, anomaly detection and forecast models. Research with ecological environments have been carried out by investigation on the use of RFIDs to keep track of wildlife. It was carried out in an international fashion with colleagues from UK, Australia, and USA. Furthermore, the deployment of a robot and its services to map geological facilities have been helping on the understanding of natural cavities. Pessin got his D.Sc. in Computer Science at the University of Sao Paulo, as a member of the Mobile Robotics Lab. During his D,Sc. Pessin carried out research with the Robotics Lab, at the Heriot-Watt University, Edinburgh, UK and the Communication and Distributed Systems Group, at the Universität Bern, Switzerland. In 2015, Pessin had a Visiting Scholar position within the Media Lab at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology. Currently, Pessin is an Associated Researcher within the Robotics Lab, at the Vale Institute of Technology. Furthermore, Pessin is a member of two post-graduation programs, one in computer science and other in automation, both with the Federal University of Ouro Preto. Pessin has published more than 120 papers in peer- reviewed journals and conferences and has been supervising more than 30 thesis and dissertations.
