👨🎓 I'm Mateus Karvat, Computer Scientist born in Cascavel-PR in the south of Brazil. I graduated in Computer Science at UNIOESTE in 2022, then did my Masters in Computing at Queen's University - Canada, and I'm currently doing my PhD in Computing at Queen's.
🔬 During my BSc I have done undergraduate research in Quantum Computing and Deep Learning, as well as organizing outreach events with the PETComp group. A few papers based on these projects have been published in national and international journals and conferences. For my MSc, I worked on Collaborative Perception for Autonomous Vehicles 🚗, having created Adver-City, the first open source Collaborative Perception dataset focused on adverse weather condtions 🌧️.
🤠 I love learning new things and consider myself to be a multipotentialite. For hobbies, I love gaming 🎮, TV Shows (Huge Mr Robot 👨💻 and Star Trek 🖖 fan), Formula 1 🏎️, and Running 🏃♂️.
