Academics
Learn to create.
From foundations to practice
Learning also happens when students, professors, and mentors come together: in questions raised in class, in projects, and in conversations that continue beyond the classroom.
A four-axis curriculum, faculty of reference, full-time dedication on a residential campus, and an international academic council behind the pedagogy, the curriculum, and the selection of faculty.
A strong scientific foundation, with hands-on learning from day one.We develop technical mastery, computational thinking, and the ability to create real solutions to complex problems.
Ethics and teamwork are foundations too.Reflections spanning science, technology, and society are part of a degree oriented by collaboration and practice.
What we see today is still the surface of what AI will produce. Today's systems work within known boundaries. The true transformation will come from ideas we can't yet predict.
A dense logical foundation for developing rigorous computational thinking.
Mastery from theoretical fundamentals to advanced, career-ready practice.
The ethical, social, and security dimensions of technology, treated as fundamentals.
Support for external projects in a formation driven by real-world challenges and the creation of technology.
Former director of Unicamp's Institute of Computing, Leandro Villas holds a PhD in Computer Science from UFMG, with a research period at the University of Ottawa in Canada. At ITEC, he leads the development of the academic program and faculty.
Our work is to provide foundations, opportunities, and an environment that turns talent into a real ability to create.
Behind the pedagogy, the curriculum, and the selection of faculty.
At heart, we're talking about building bridges. For talent to emerge, opportunity must first exist — and be visible to those who can seize it.

Since August 2026, ITEC's first professors have been helping develop the curriculum, bringing together teaching, research, and close support for students.
Learning continues beyond the classroom.The model calls for full-time faculty and a ratio of one professor for every ten students. This close contact makes room for individual guidance, projects, and the exchange of ideas throughout daily life on campus.
ITEC professor
Felipe Domingos da Cunha holds a bachelor's degree in Computer Science from PUC Minas and a master's degree and PhD from UFMG, including a doctoral research stay at Inria Saclay in France. He teaches and conducts research in artificial intelligence, machine learning, urban computing, vehicular networks, smart cities, and distributed systems, and has extensive academic and management experience in higher education.
ITEC professor
Wellington Lobato holds a degree in Computer Engineering from IESAM, a master's degree from UFPA, and a PhD in Computer Science from Unicamp. He spent time at Technische Universität Dresden in Germany during his doctorate and at Inria Saclay in France as a postdoctoral researcher.
