Personal Overview

Marco M. Carvalho Professor in Computer Sciences. He graduated in Mechanical Engineering from the Federal University of Brasilia, where he also completed his M.Sc. in Mechanical Engineering with specialization in dynamic systems. Dr. Carvalho also holds a M.Sc. in Computer Science from the University of West Florida and a Ph.D. in Computer Science from Tulane University, with specialization in Machine Learning and Data Mining.

Before joining Florida Tech, Dr. Carvalho served as a Research Scientist at the Florida Institute for Human and Machine Cognition (IHMC), where he led research teams in areas including knowledge elicitation and modeling, distributed intelligent systems, tactical communication systems, and human-automation teamwork for cyber operations and defense. During his tenure at IHMC Dr. Carvalho has also led research efforts sponsored by the DoE and DoD on the security of smart buildings, and environmental sensor networks.

At Florida Tech, Dr. Carvalho serves as the Executive Director of the Harris Institute for Assured Information (HIAI), where he leads a number of research efforts on the interactions of humans and autonomous systems for missions critical and cyber operations. He also leads a number of efforts sponsored by the DoD and DHS S&T on Cyber Command and Control, and Federated cybersecurity.
