Projects

Research, software, extension, and long-term systems agendas.

Project descriptions are intentionally selective and status-aware. They distinguish ongoing work, historical artifacts, planned integrations, and conceptual research agendas.

Portfolio

Three visible project layers

The project page gives a compact map of the academic portfolio without becoming a full Lattes reproduction.

active

Biological systems simulation

Current emphasis on simulation models for evaluating unicellular systems as conceptual target substrates for digital-circuit synthesis research.

software

Simulation and design automation tools

Selected software lines include modular simulation, cyber-physical systems design automation, and future research automation workflows.

extension

Applied computing and public-interest software

Extension work connects software engineering, mobile development, community problems, student training, and university outreach.

Project context

Curated project narrative

These notes explain how the selected projects should be interpreted: not as a full inventory, but as a coherent academic and engineering portfolio.

research

Biological computing and BioCAD-oriented simulation

The active research axis is the specification and validation of simulation models for unicellular systems as candidate target substrates for digital circuit physical synthesis, framed as modeling and design automation rather than laboratory procedure.

  • Connects digital systems, BioCAD concepts, systems biology, and whole-cell simulation.
  • Requires rigorous abstraction boundaries between digital specifications and biological feasibility.
  • Naturally connects to BioCompLab and future repository/documentation pages.
software

Reusable tools and scientific software artifacts

The portfolio includes simulation tools, design automation suites, educational platforms, web systems, and mobile/embedded prototypes. Public links should be curated rather than dumped from the full academic record.

  • GenESys and ADESDToolSuite are the most relevant software anchors for this website.
  • PPCWeb, FundosInvest, and the UFSC3D virtual world show applied web/system development experience.
  • Historical embedded systems projects document continuity in hardware/software integration.
extension

University extension and community-facing systems

Extension projects demonstrate applied software engineering in public-interest contexts: community integration, educational virtual worlds, financial decision-support services, and assistive embedded systems.

  • Useful for attracting students interested in real systems, not only theoretical topics.
  • Creates a bridge between research, teaching, and public-facing software development.
  • Can later be expanded into pages with screenshots, repositories, reports, and student roles.
