Physics Reasercher
Postdoctoral Researcher at the Institute of Physics of Federal University of Rio Grande do Sul (UFRGS), Brazil.
I am a physicist specialized in complex systems, with expertise in nonlinear dynamics and spatial modeling applied to biological and sociophysical systems. My academic background includes a Bachelor's degree from UFF (Brazil), with an academic exchange at the Universidad de Valladolid (Spain), and a Master's and Ph.D. from PUC-Rio (Brazil). Following postdoctoral research at ICTP-SAIFR (Brazil) and the National Institute of Chemical Physics and Biophysics (Estonia), I am currently a Postdoctoral Researcher at the Institute of Physics of UFRGS. My research interests include opinion dynamics, pattern formation, population models, socio-environmental systems, and climate resilience.
