Evolutionary Genomics | Molecular Ecology | Conservation Biology
I am currently a PhD Candidate in Plant Sciences at the University of Campinas (Brazil) and also a Visiting Researcher at the University of Colorado Boulder (US). My thesis research is focused on using bioinformatics and genomics in order to investigate adaptation and evolutionary processes in natural populations of the neotropical orchid Epidendrum fulgens, which occurs along an environmental gradient in the highly deforested Brazilian Atlantic Forest. I have a BSc in Biology from São Paulo State University (Brazil), with a year studying abroad at the University of Liverpool (UK). I also have a Master's Degree in Environmental Sciences from the Federal University of São Carlos (Brazil), having developed research within the fields of ecology & conservation. My main skills at the moment are in evolutionary genomics, molecular ecology and bioinformatics, having had training in many programming languages and computational frameworks for the analyses of large genomic datasets.
Outside the lab, I love hiking and rock climbing, or doing any activity that allows me to connect with the Earth. I love nature & wildlife photography and also playing music. Find my photography gallery here.

I am mainly interested in using highly innovative tools and technologies in the study of biological diversity and evolutionary processes. My main passion today is using bioinformatics in the study of genomic data, but I am also interested in developing new software for the investigation of biological systems.
