Together with Prof. Anderson Rocha, Prof. Jacques Wainer, Prof. Ricardo Torres (my Post Doc advisor, by the way) and Prof. Siome Goldenstein, we have recently founded a new laboratory at the Computing Institute of the State University of Campinas (UNICAMP).

The new lab — which we named RECOD — aims to embrace the research subjects of machine learning, multimedia retrieval and classification, multimodality and digital forensics.

The foundation of this new lab both celebrates a history of fruitful colaboration between its participating members and inaugurates a new phase of tighter cooperation, in which the synergy of our complementary competencies will be fostered in an optimized environment.

I cannot avoid to be proud that my colleagues have accepted both my name and logo suggestions for the  new lab.

Long live RECOD !
