About me

My research is centered on developing advanced algorithms for many-body fermionic systems. Within this scope, I am investigating both classical and quantum variational algorithms and quantum algorithms for fault-tolerant quantum computing (FTQC). Which ones have potential applications in fields such as quantum chemistry, materials science, and high-energy physics. 

I recently spent a year as a postdoctoral researcher at the Center for Quantum Information and Control at the University of New Mexico, working within the Akimasa Miyake group. I began working on variational quantum algorithms for transcorrelated electronic Hamiltonians, one of my research lines.

I previously pursued my Ph.D. in Physics at the Universitat Autònoma de Barcelona (UAB), Spain. My research branched into distinct domains. The first part of my thesis focused on exploring entanglement and decoherence in graphene-based quantum materials. The second part of my thesis was dedicated to investigating quantum tomography on lattices. I led the project Local Quantum Overlapping Tomography. Also worked a bit with quantum certification in many-body physics. 

From April to September 2021, I undertook a part-time internship with IBM Quantum and the Qiskit Community. My role encompassed community building, mentorship, teaching, and participating in research activities.

Originating from Brazil, I embarked on a dual academic path. I simultaneously pursued a Bachelor’s degree in Theoretical Physics at the Federal University of Pernambuco (UFPE) and the University of Porto (UP) in Porto, Portugal, and I got a degree in Chemical Engineering from the Catholic University of Pernambuco. During this period, I also completed several courses in the Mathematics and Chemistry departments and attended intensive summer courses on advanced Mathematics topics. Despite the demanding schedule, I participated in numerous scientific projects alongside my coursework.

I earned my Master's degree in Theoretical Physics from (UFPE), specializing in research on quantum computing and quantum control described through continuous variables.

After obtaining my Master's degree and before embarking on my PhD journey in Spain, I engaged in the Conformal Bootstrap program. I also did some Ph.D. qualifying examinations, wrote my scientific projects to apply for grants, and undertook further advanced coursework. 

This academic voyage has led me across various countries globally, enriching my experience and perspective.
