Here, I present a brief overview of my current work as a Researcher at the Laboratório Nacional de Astrofísica (LNA/MCT). At LNA, I provide support for facilities
at the Observatório do Pico dos Dias (OPD, Brazil) and the NOIRLab's SOAR telescope (Chile). I am also working on the development of new instruments for SOAR: the STELES high-resolution optical spectrograph and the ISPI near-IR imager.
The formation of high-mass stars is one of the most important themes in Astrophysics and one of the most poorly understood. Combining different techniques in a multi-wavelength study is crucial to studying and understanding the physics and processes within the deeply embedded regions where massive stars are formed.
My scientific interests are focused on high-mass star formation and evolution processes, molecular jets, HII regions, the Be phenomena, and stellar clusters. I am interested in multi-wavelength observations using imaging and spectroscopic (long-slit, echelle, IFU) data.
