I'm a happy Brazilian mathematician and currently a Professor at IMPA Tech. I earned my Ph.D. in Mathematics from the Federal University of Minas Gerais in 2016. After completing my doctorate, I had the opportunity to do postdoctoral research at IMPA (Instituto Nacional de Matemática Pura e Aplicada) and later at the Pontificia Universidad Católica de Chile. I also worked as a Visiting Assistant Professor for five years in the US, two years at Colorado University Boulder and three years at University of Denver.

My research is in probability theory, with a focus on random graphs, random walks, a bit of probabilistic combinatorics. Lately, I’ve been working on the Ewens–Pitman partition model and the Tree Builder Random Walk, with some of that work appearing in journals like the Annals of Applied Probability.

Teaching has always been a big part of what I enjoy. I’ve taught courses like Calculus, Linear Algebra, and Probability Theory, and I often bring computational tools—especially R—into the classroom to help students connect theory with practice or to visualize mathematical concepts.

Outside academia, I enjoy my life with my wife, reading, writing and I also have a strong interest in programming and open-source software. If you check my GitHub, you will see it has a mix of side projects, from productivity tools to educational experiments.  I'm passionate about building a collaborative, global math community!
