🏆 How Would the Nominee Contribute as an Ambassador?
The nominee is a Professor in the Graduate Program in Industrial and Systems Engineering at the Pontifical Catholic University of Paraná, Brazil.
His research involves the use of PyTorch to develop and explore artificial neural networks applied to real-world industrial problems.
As part of his efforts to disseminate PyTorch, he created a graduate-level course titled Artificial Neural Networks Engineering, which focuses on practical implementations using PyTorch. This course is one of the few comprehensive educational resources on neural networks available entirely in Portuguese: github.com/vhrique/anne_ptbr.
He is committed to continuing this work by developing additional educational materials and tutorials in Portuguese, aiming to make PyTorch more accessible to the broader Portuguese-speaking community
