Formação acadêmica/profissional (Onde obteve os títulos, atuação profissional, etc.)
Bachelors degree in Physics from the Federal University of Itajubá (UNIFEI), Brazil, completed in 2010. Earned a Masters degree in Theoretical Physics at the same institution (20102011), focusing on nonlinear optics. Obtained a Ph.D. in Physics and Relativistic Astrophysics through the Erasmus Mundus Joint Doctorate Program, conducted jointly at the University of Rome La Sapienza (Italy) and Université de Nice Sophia Antipolis (France), completed in 2014.
Held several postdoctoral research positions in theoretical astrophysics and gravitation: Towson University, USA (20152016), working on optics and analogue models of general relativity; Federal University of ABC, Brazil (20162018), conducting research on neutron stars with phase transitions; University of Southampton, UK (20182019), working on realistic aspects of neutron stars; Nicolaus Copernicus Astronomical Center, Warsaw, Poland (20192022), focusing on sources of gravitational waves; Federal University of Espírito Santo, Brazil (20232024), working on multimessenger phenomena; University of São Paulo (Institute of Astronomy, Geophysics, and Atmospheric Sciences IAG/USP), Brazil (20242025), studying compact objects and their multimessenger signatures.
