Marcos R. Vieira      E-mail address:    Resume: upon request

Prior to joining UCR, I received my M.Sc. Degree in Computer Science (2004) from University of São Paulo at São Carlos and my B.S. Degree in Computer Engineering (2001) from Federal University of São Carlos, Brazil.

After I graduated, I worked for IBM Research at the Rio de Janeiro Lab until the beginning of 2015. I conducted research in the following areas: (1) machine learning techniques for big data analytics in the areas of oil and gas, mining, water and transportation; (2) scalable data analytics platform for oil and gas, and agriculture; and (3) techniques to speed up processing of complex pattern queries using GPU- and FPGA-based architectures for spatio-temporal data.
