Summary
Henrique De Freitas is an Associate Professor and Visiting Scholar whose two-decade academic career bridges computer architecture, high-performance and heterogeneous computing, and cybersecurity for autonomous vehicles. He leads the CArT research group at PUC Minas, has supervised graduate programs and served on academic boards, and brings international research experience from INRIA/Université Grenoble Alpes and UC Irvine. His work blends theoretical performance/energy analysis of many-core and reconfigurable systems with applied projects on energy-efficient ML architectures for intrusion detection in autonomous vehicles. Notable for combining systems-level expertise with operational experience (from early roles as a systems administrator and electronics technician), he pursues cross-cutting research that informs both teaching and practical cybersecurity solutions.
