Biography

I am a Technologist in Telecommunications (2007), MSc (2010) and PhD (2015) in Electrical Engineering, all degrees obtained at the State University of Campinas (UNICAMP), where I also accomplished a post-doctorate project. Today, I am an MBA student at FGV. I am a founding-member of the Association of Graduate Students of FEEC-Unicamp (APOGEEU) and a founding-associated member of the Brazilian Optics and Photonics Society (SBFoton). I have participated in academic monitoring and teaching internships and I remain committed to the dissemination and diffusion of scientific and technological knowledge. Since 2016 I've been a researcher at the Foundation for Research and Development in Telecommunications (CPQD), working on research and development projects in the field of ​​optical communications. I work as internship supervisor, project coordinator, and leader of the optical communications technology platform. I am also a wine sommelier in my spare time and a full-time dad.
