Bio/Description
Marcel's research area is theoretical computer science, specifically quantum computing, sublinear algorithms and cryptography -- in other words, CS-inspired math problems. But he absolutely loves teaching; before coming to Princeton, he was an elementary school teacher for 3 years. (If you want to get him talking, ask about Projeto Âncora!) Marcel is Brazilian, vegetarian and likes to think of himself as a foodie. South Asian food and fermented stuff are favorites, where he's gotten somewhat decent after a decade of practice.
