Biography
I am Diego Ascânio Santos, a professor at CEFET-MG, Divinópolis campus. My background is in Computer Engineering, and I hold a master's degree in Computational Mathematical Modeling. My academic interests span across multiple fields, including mathematical models, operations research, computer vision, artificial intelligence, machine learning, electrical engineering, microprocessors, digital systems, educational technology, and diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI) in STEM as I am an autistic person myself. I teach computing fundamentals, including programming languages like C and Python, as well as microcontroller programming. I am always looking for new ways to engage students in the learning process and I am excited to share my knowledge and experience with the next generation of engineers.
Education
I hold a B.Sc. in Computer Engineering and an M.Sc. in Computational Mathematical Models, and I am currently pursuing a Ph.D. in Computational Mathematical Models with an emphasis on Operations Research. I also hold a teaching degree that licenses me to teach Informatics- and Computer Science–related subjects in basic and technological education.
