Joao P. A. Dantas

I am a Research Engineer in the Decision Support Systems Subdivision at the Institute for Advanced Studies (IEAv), part of the Brazilian Air Force. My work focuses on advancing national defense technologies through air combat simulation, missile modeling, and the development of autonomous agents for complex operational scenarios, with research interests at the intersection of artificial intelligence, machine learning, robotics, and simulation.

I hold a Ph.D. and M.Sc. in Electronic and Computer Engineering from the Aeronautics Institute of Technology (ITA), where I also earned my B.Sc. in Mechanical-Aeronautical Engineering, including a one-year exchange at Stony Brook University. From 2021 to 2023, I was a visiting researcher at the AirLab, part of the Robotics Institute at Carnegie Mellon University.
