Short bio. I grew up in Capão Redondo, one of the biggest favelas in São Paulo, Brazil, and I was a first-generation student. 
        
        Since Sep/23, I am a postdoctoral associate in mathematics at CMU (Carnegie Mellon University),
        mentored by 
Robin Neumayer.
I completed my Ph.D. in mathematics in Jul/23, at IME-USP (University of São Paulo) under the supervision of 
Stefano Nardulli and 
Camillo De Lellis. 
        
        Some of my favorite mottos that align with my trajectory and beliefs are:
        
        
É necessário sempre acreditar que um sonho é possível. Que o céu é o limite e você, truta, é imbatível.
