I am currently an Associate Professor at the School of Arts, Sciences, and Humanities, University of São Paulo. Between September 2018 and April 2019, I was a “Tinker Visiting Professor” at the University of Chicago. I completed a postdoctoral fellowship (CNPq, 2009) at the Fly Lab hosted by the Department of Applied Mathematics and Statistics and the Center for Molecular Medicine at Stony Brook University, NY, USA. I obtained a Ph.D. (CNPq, 2008) and a Master’s degree (CAPES, 2004) in Theoretical Physics, both from the Group of Mathematical Methods in Molecular Sciences at the Institute of Physics of São Carlos, University of São Paulo. I graduated with a degree in Physics Education from the Federal University of São Carlos in 2001. I have expertise in Mathematical Physics, Group Theory, Stochastic Methods, and Computational Simulation applied to Molecular Biology, particularly Gene Expression and the Segmentation Process of D. melanogaster embryos and Tumorigenesis Processes. I also work in High-Performance Computing, investigating applications of Lie Groups and Graph Theory in designing topologies and architectures for supercomputers. I have experience in community outreach services, promoting scientific dissemination in the nuclear field, conducting studies on new fission-fusion technologies for electricity generation, reusing irradiated fuel, analyzing the consequences of the Chernobyl and Fukushima nuclear accidents, and applying nuclear technologies.
