About me
I am an assistant professor at the Instituto Superior Técnico IST, Lisbon Portugal working in the Center for Mathematical Analysis, Geometry and Dynamical Systems CAMGSD.
I got my Phd studies in August 2015 at the Instituto de Matemática Pura e Aplicada, IMPA, Brazil, advised by professor Milton Jara.
Fellowships
Here is brief description of my academic carreer.
Sep.2024-Oct.2024: Postdoctoral Fellowship at Aalto University, Finland.
I worked with professors Pauliina Ilmonen and Lauri Viitasaari in the Department of Mathematics and Systems Analysis.
Jan.2020-Aug.2024: Postdoctoral Fellowship at University of Helsinki, Finland.
I worked with professor Jani Lukkarinen in the department of Mathematics and Mathematical Physics.
Aug.2019-Dec.2019: Teaching the undergraduate course Introduction to Mathematics at the Polytechnic University of Yucatan, UPY.
Aug.2017-Jul.2019: Postdoctoral Fellowship from PIMS, Canada.
I worked on the so-called shadow phenomenon for perturbations of Hamiltonian systems.
Aug.2015-Jul.2017: Postdoctoral Fellowship from CIMAT (2015-2016) and CONAHCyT (2016-2017), Mexico. I worked in small random perturbations of differential equations driven by Lévy noise, and the asymptotics of singular values for structured random matrices via random polynomials.
Aug.2011-Aug.2015: Ph.D. Scholarship from CNPq, Brazil.
I studied my Phd in the Instituto de Matematica Pura e Aplicada, IMPA, Brazil under the supervision of professor Milton Jara Valenzuela. I focused on small random perturbations of dynamical systems. Here is a link to my PhD Thesis.
Aug.2009-Jul.2011: Master Scholarship from CONACyT, Mexico.
I studied my Master degree in the Center for Research in Mathematics, CIMAT, Mexico under the supervision of professor José Alfredo López Mimbela. I focused on the Renyi entropy for dynamical systems. Here is a link to my Master Thesis.
Awards & Grants
