About Me

Lucas Pascotti Valem

I currently work as an Assistant Professor in the Department of Computer Science (SCC) at the Institute of Mathematics and Computer Science (ICMC), University of São Paulo (USP).

From July 2023 to January 2025, I worked on a project funded by Petrobras, focused on developing software that uses AI to automatically detect and classify microfossils in thin sections of rocks.

I received my PhD in Computer Science from the São Paulo State University (UNESP) in June 2024. I was a doctorate exchange student at Temple University (Philadelphia, PA, USA) as a Fulbright Scholar (Doctoral Dissertation Research Abroad Award, 2022-2023). I received my Bachelor's Degree in Computer Science from the São Paulo State University (UNESP) in 2016. I obtained my Master's Degree in Computer Science from the same university in 2019 with the thesis “Unsupervised Selective Rank Fusion for Content-based Image Retrieval.”.

Among the awards, I received the Best Master's Thesis Award from the Workshop of Theses and Dissertations (WTD) in the SIBGRAPI' 19. My thesis was also recognized as the Second Best Dissertation in the 33rd Contest of Thesis and Dissertations (CTD), Congress of the Brazilian Computer Society (CSBC 2020).

I have experience in different areas of Computer Science, with special interest in information retrieval, image retrieval by content, machine learning, computer vision, deep learning, image processing, pattern recognition, and parallel computing.
