world know how creative you are. I know you made everything you could to take care of us. Thanks for everything, may God bless you in heaven. Sávio, my brother, funny guy, clever man, thanks for showing me that there is no limit on what we can achieve if we love what we do and if we are committed to reaching the next level of excellence. Your award-winning mathematical thinking influences many people around you. I am proud to be your brother. Who else can say that received a medal from the president of the country? Also, thanks for finishing your Ph.D. precisely on the same day and time as me, and not before. Otherwise, I would have to explain to people why my younger brother started later and finished before. Karine, thanks for being a good friend and supporting Sávio in his journey. It is great having you in the family. Lili, thanks for always helping us carefully and teach us math. Reginaldo, my journey in computer science started with you saying to me when I was a child: "Hey Sabir, computers are the future. You should check it.". That triggered my curiosity about the field. Samuel and Alberto, thanks for being close friends and for all the discussions we had about life.
