Currently, I am a Postdoctoral fellow at the Center for Mathematical Modeling (CMM), University of Chile, under the supervision of Prof. Gabrielle Nornberg.
Prior, I have held postdoctoral position at University of Central Florida under the supervision of Prof. Eduardo Teixeira and at State University of Campinas under the supervision of Prof. João Vitor da Silva.
I completed my Ph.D. graduation in January 2023 at the Federal University of Paraíba - Brazil, under the supervision of Professors Damião Araújo and Jose Miguel Urbano.
My research focuses on Partial Differential Equations (PDEs), with particular interest in regularity theory for free boundary problems involving elliptic and degenerate fully nonlinear operators.
