I’m Erick Passos, a Computer Science Professor at IFPI. This is my personal website. If you’re looking for information about my game development start-up, please visit Sertão Games.

I’m a PhD candidate at UFF Media Lab, and I’ve recently been a visiting researcher at the MIT Media Lab, collaborating with the Camera Culture group. I post my thoughts on computer science and other subjects in the blog section. I try my best to keep my resumee updated, and those interested in some of my current and past projects should also take a look at my portfolio.

My current research interests are computational intelligence (storytelling, emotion and inter-personal relations modeling, knowledge representation) and development of health aiding devices (human vision, orthopedics). In my spare time, I like to develop games, which is a very challenging and yet pleasant activity.

The term Sertão 3D accounts for two things I regard: the region where I live in, a very beautiful and still wild part of Brazil, and the passion I have for game development.
