Researcher in Bioinformatics at Instituto Tecnológico Vale
Conservation Genomics | Molecular Ecology | Evolutionary Biology
I am currently working as a researcher in bioinformatics at ITV-DS (Instituto Tecnologico Vale Desenvolvimento Sustentavel), within the GBB consortium (Genomics of the Brazilian Biodiversity). My work is mainly focused in genome assembly and genomic analyses in general, for vertebrate and plant species. Our main purpose in GBB is to assemble the genomes of many endangered species of the Brazilian fauna, especially from the Amazon region. My main skills 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. I am happy to work on different projects that are related to biodiversity and conservation genomics and I am open to collaborations. Shoot me an email if you have ideas of projects and want to collaborate. :)
Outside work, I love rock climbing, riding my skateboard, drinking lots of coffee and being out in nature. I also love wildlife and landscape photography. 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.
