Matheus Mota

I hold a Master's degree in Computer Science from the Aeronautics Technological Institute (ITA), with a Bachelor's degree in Aerospace Engineering (also from ITA) completed with honors. My master's research focused on Artificial Intelligence applied to the binary text classification of academic works for systematic literature reviews, evaluated against the ISO 23053 and ISO 25010 standards — a thesis I defended and had approved in 2025. Today I work as a Software Engineer at Maria Educação, where I build large-scale educational assessment platforms — optical mark recognition of paper answer sheets, automatic grading, proficiency estimation via Item Response Theory (IRT) and analytics over public SAEB microdata — and generative-AI systems for authoring instructional materials, such as an editor that produces lessons, workbooks, books and learning paths with large language models. My research interests span machine learning, natural language processing, and data mining, with a particular emphasis on developing intelligent systems for academic content analysis and classification. During my master's I completed specialized courses in algorithms, data structures, artificial intelligence, and software engineering, building a solid theoretical foundation. My academic work is complemented by practical experience in software development, where I apply research methodologies to solve real-world problems. I am passionate about contributing to the advancement of knowledge in computer science through rigorous research, publication, and collaboration with the academic community.
