About me
I'm an astrophysicist and PhD candidate at the European Southern Observatory (ESO) in Garching, Germany supervised by Dr. Paola Popesso.
I studied astrophysics at the Valongo Observatory (UFRJ), with a B.Sc. and an M.Sc. carried out jointly with the USA National Radio Astronomy Observatory (NRAO), in New Mexico, USA. My research moves across scales and wavelengths. I have mapped dark matter in Milky Way analogue galaxies with radio telescopes, measured how environment reshapes galaxy kinematics with integral-field spectroscopy, and tested galaxy evolution physics in cosmological simulations from single galaxies to massive clusters.
Outside research, I love acting, playing volleyball and football, signing and hiking.
