About
I'm a brazilian scientist who grew up surrounded by books, fascinated by science, and passionated about education. I started my undergraduate studies in Brazil and was lucky to come to the US to study biophysics then did a PhD in bioengineering at Caltech. I work with biotechnology, bioinformatics, and STEM education for marginalized youth in Brazil.
I'm an Assistant Professor of Computational Biology at Mohamed Bin Zayed University of Artificial Intelligence (MBZUAI), a graduate-level, research-based university located in Abu Dhabi focused on applications of artificial intelligence. I'm currently also visiting scholar at the UC Berkeley School of Education.
My MBZUAI profile is at https://mbzuai.ac.ae/study/fac...
My website is https://munfred.com
The STEM education projects are described at: https://vilsongroh.org
I published an article explaining how I became involved with STEM education for marginalized youth at https://revista.drclas.harvard...
