I’m currently getting my PhD at the University of the City of São Paulo in Astrophysics. My main research topic is to understand how the balance between internal and environmental mechanisms drive galaxy evolution and, eventually, apply that to figure out more about large scale structure formation in our universe. I mainly code in Python, but I do have some experience with R as well. I would say that my strongest points are:
1) creativity; 2) hard working; and 3) fast learner.

I have graduated with a Bachelor of Sciences in Physics by UNICAMP in São Paulo, Brazil. I have also received a Master’s degree in Astrophysics from the National Institute of Space Research (INPE) in São José dos Campos, Brazil. I’m currently getting my PhD in Astrophysics by the University of the City of São Paulo (UNICID) in São Paulo, Brazil. I was also awarded a year doctoral stay at the Centre of Astronomy and Particle Theory, at the University of Nottingham, Nottingham, United Kingdom.

I play the guitar since I was 14. My favorite styles to jam are classic rock and blues! Some of my old (more than 10 years ago!) gigs are available on my (pretty much dead) Youtube channel:
I got my first video game when I was 5, and since then I have never really stopped playing. Despite favouring more colourful, animated games (mostly from Nintendo), I have spent most of my gaming life playing League of Legends with my friends (we are terrible, but we still try). My top 3 games so far are: League, Super Mario 64 and Guitar Hero.
I’ve tried several sports before. From elementary to high school I mainly played football/soccer. I was the goalkeeper for my school team and we won several regional tournaments. After trying other sports (basketball, handball and volleyball), I found my passion to be volleyball. More especifically, I enjoy playing as Libero.
Once I discovered the world of Anime, I really dove into it and spent lots of hollidays watching a variety of them. I also used to go to Anime Conventions and this kind of things. It changes from time to time, but right now my favourite anime is One Piece. Once in a while, I watch series (usually the mainstream ones). My cherished serie is The Office.
