I was born in 1996 in Guarujá - SP, a coastal city in Brazil. In 2014 I enrolled in the Bachelor of Biological Sciences program with an emphasis in Biodiversity Conservation at the Federal University of Viçosa, Campus Rio Paranaíba (UFV-CRP). That same year, I started my first internship at the Laboratory of Ecological and Evolutionary Genetics (LaGEEvo), supervised by Prof. Dr. Karine Kavalco. and Prof. Dr. Rubens Pasa. During this experience, I worked with cytogenetics in neotropical fish, but also was involved in scientific dissemination projects (websites, podcasts, and newspaper), and on the foundation of the Academic Center of Biological Sciences - CABio Colmeia at UFV-CRP (2017). During that time, I also conducted some taxidermy activities for small and large vertebrates and the composition of teaching materials for the UFV-CRP. Finally, my monograph consisted of using geometric morphometry in Hypostomus species, assessing the diversity and body configuration of these animals in the Paranaíba river basin. In 2018, I moved to São Carlos (SP) for my Master's in Evolutionary Genetics and Molecular Biology at the Federal University of São Carlos, supervised by Prof. Dr. Marcelo de Bello Cioffi. My Master's dissertation explored the karyotype evolution of Lebiasina, using comparative cytogenetics (WCP, CGH, repetitive DNA mapping). In 2020, I started my PhD in Evolutionary Genetics and Molecular Biology and became a student representative (2021-2024). In December 2022 I moved for six months to Jena (Germany) to be a visiting researcher at Universitätsklinikum of Friedrich-Schiller-Universität Jena supervised by Prof. Dr. Thomas Liehr, working on the obtention of Whole Chromosome Painting probes for FISH experiments. From September/2023 to January/2024 I was a Visiting Researcher at the University of Canberra, under the supervision of Dr. Tariq Ezaz, working with Oligo-FISH, SNPs for sex-linked markers, and SNP-based phylogenetic reconstruction. In my PhD I studied several Harttia species, describing their chromosomal evolution with emphasis on the sex chromosomes, since the genus is considered a repository of multiple sex chromosomes, allowing for a deeper investigation of the evolutionary processes that create such chromosomal diversity and its consequent impact on the origin of biodiversity. Currently I live in Chongqing (China), working as a Postdoctoral Research Fellow at Southwest University. My current focus is on genomics, working with chromosome-level genome assemblies and comparative genomics using several bioinformatic pipelines, mostly for the study of sex chromosomes.
