Joao P. A. Dantas

I am a Research Engineer in the Decision Support Systems Subdivision of the C4ISR Division at the Institute for Advanced Studies (IEAv), part of the Brazilian Air Force. My work focuses on the development of defense technologies and aerospace applications, with research interests at the intersection of autonomy, machine learning, robotics, and simulation.

I earned my Ph.D. in 2025 and M.Sc. in 2019 in Electronic and Computer Engineering from the Aeronautics Institute of Technology (ITA), where I also completed my B.Sc. in Mechanical-Aeronautical Engineering in 2015. My education includes a one-year exchange at Stony Brook University (2014–2015). Between 2021 and 2023, I was a visiting researcher at the AirLab, part of the Robotics Institute at Carnegie Mellon University.
