Who is Matheus?
Matheus is a "full-stack scientist" who enjoys covering the entire scientific pipeline, from data collection and cleaning to statistical analysis, data modeling, paper writing, conference presentations, and teaching.
He actively researches the emerging area of applied Computer Science in medicine at the Cleveland Clinic Foundation and as faculty at the Department of Biomedical Engineering at Cleveland Clinic Lerner College of Medicine of Case Western Reserve University.
In his interdisciplinary research, he addresses sleep medicine challenges by using clinical data to build solutions using machine learning models, natural language processing, and time-series analyses. In the 2010s, Matheus also contributed to the field of Sentiment Analysis and Social Computing.
"My goal is to bridge computer science and health care, transforming people's lives unquestionably better in an optimal way with the resources I have right now."
