Biography
Leonardo Grando is a Ph.D. candidate at the University of Campinas (UNICAMP) in Brazil. I am interested in complex systems, agent-based simulation, artificial intelligence, the Internet of Things, programming, and machine learning tools.
I have expertise in Netlogo, Python, R, LaTeX, SQL, and Linux tools.
My Ph.D. work project is an IoT devices (UAVs) swarm agent-based modeling simulation (ABMS) aiming the perpetual flight. These work workflow is use Netlogo to simulate my model and use Python and R to data mining.
I started my professional career change from the automotive industry as a productivity improvement area to the academic and data science field in 2019. After this career change, I worked also as a teacher in fundamental and high school and as a teaching intern at the undergraduate level.
