Summary

Senior🎓
Top SchoolBreno Matos is a PhD student at the Max Planck Institute for Informatics (IMPRS-Trust) with eight years of experience building production-grade tools that tackle online harms, misinformation, and large-scale data collection. He blends deep academic research in NLP and trustworthy computing with hands-on engineering—having led development of conversational text-to-SQL systems, social-media monitors, large-scale crawlers (5,000+ crawler configs and 2,000+ public sources), and an in-house LLM for corporate credit analysis. His work spans governments, academia, and industry, including contributions to public-prosecutor investigations, Google-UFMG Data Commons, and an auditing study of recommendation systems at EPFL. Technically fluent with open-weight LLMs, FAISS semantic search, Playwright scraping, Django/React, and conversational interfaces, he moves models from research prototypes into operational tools. Based in Saarbrücken, he brings rare multidisciplinary experience: rigorous MSc-level research (97/100) plus practical deployments that inform policy-relevant investigations.
