Hello, my name is Pedro H. Narloch. I am currently a Ph.D. candidate at the Federal University of Rio Grande do Sul with the intention to defend my Ph.D. thesis in October/2021.

🎓 All my research is focused on developing bio-inspired algorithms (meta-heuristics) for Structural Biology problems, specifically the Protein Structure Prediction and Molecular Docking problems. My Ph.D. work has been coded using Python as a programming language, adding up to a total of 6 years of Python experience.

🧠 Part of my research is currently being applied to AutoML for Feature Selection and Hyperparameter optimization for Machine Learning and Data Science Pipelines.

📌 Besides my research activities, I had enriching experiences at TOTVS as a Java Web Developer and at Gesplan as a Systems Analyst, working with Java and C++ programming languages.

👨🏼‍🏫 Currently, I work as a University Professor in two expressive universities in Brazil, the Federal University of Rio Grande do Sul and UNICURITIBA (part of Ânima Group).
