Curriculum Vitae

Education

2023 - Present

Goeldi Museum

Ph.D. candidate in Biodiversity and Evolution

My current research is based on phylogenomics and biogeography to investigate the evolutionary patterns of armored catfishes from the rivers of the Brazilian Shield. 

2018 - 2020

Federal University of Pará / Goeldi Museum 

Master of Zoology

In my master's, I investigated the evolutionary events that promoted the dispersion of freshwater stingrays through molecular analysis. Also in this period, I have worked with DNA barcoding of estuarine fish species from the Caeté River estuary (Pará state, Brazil). 

2011 - 2017

Federal University of Pará

Bachelor in Science

Since my first day of undergraduate studies, I have been working with molecular biology. During this period, I worked on DNA barcoding of butterflies and fish species under the supervision of Dr. Jonathan Ready. 

Work experience

Since 03/2025 

Vale Institute of Technology, Belém, Brazil

Genomics of the Brazilian Biodiversity (GBB)

Fieldwork 

During this period, I participated in and organised several field campaigns to rapids in different Brazilian river basins (Tocantins, Araguaia, Xingu, Tapajós, and Trombetas).  

2022-present

Fish collection curation

I am assisting in curating fish specimens in the Goeldi Museum's collection. Through my work, I have developed strong technical skills in specimen preparation, data management, and the use of Specify software.
