Leon Nascimento is a multidisciplinary researcher and technologist blending nine years of experience in pharmacy, clinical practice and applied computational science, now serving as Head Researcher for Occupational Health at Firjan. He designs and leads projects that apply machine learning, computer vision and data mining to chemical processes, environmental monitoring and health outcomes, turning academic models into practical monitoring systems. Trained from pharmacy through a PhD in Computer Science and a master's in ubiquitous computing and AI, he uniquely bridges clinical domain knowledge with advanced modeling and software development. Based in Rio de Janeiro, he focuses on impactful, societally relevant solutions—often using automated visual monitoring and predictive models to improve workplace health and process safety. An unexpected strength is his hands-on ability to translate laboratory and clinical insights into deployable software tools that address industrial and public-health challenges.
