Carlos Paradis

I am employed by KBR where I am an Associate Technical Professional - Data Science at NASA Ames Research Center Robust Software Engineering group. I am also an active member of the MARGInS project.

Currently, I am a Ph.D. candidate in Computer Science at the University of Hawaii at Mānoa. My dissertation focuses on the automated identification of emerging safety threats over time, and their interpretability using natural language processing. Some of this research has been applied to the NASA Aviation Safety Reporting System.

I received an M.S. in Computer Science from the University of Hawaii at Mānoa in 2016, and an M.S. in Software Engineering from Stevens Institute of Technology in 2014. My B.S. is in Computer Science from Universidade Federal da Bahia, Brazil, in 2013.
