Welcome to my website! Here you'll find information about my research projects, my academic career, publications and some personal details, such as my Lego photos and favorite YouTube Channels. If you're an undergrad student, I have prepared a page on recommendations to your undergraduation in Physics (only in Portuguese).
Bem vindo(a/e) ao meu site! Aqui você encontrará informações sobre meus projetos de pesquisa, minha carreira acadêmica, publicações e alguns detalhes pessoais, como minha paixão por fotos de Legos e meus canais do YouTube favoritos. Se você é um aluno de graduação, eu preparei uma página com várias recomendações para a sua graduação em Física. Se você está aqui pela planilha de artigos e comentários que li sobre a pandemia atual da COVID-19 ou para buscar o link de algum dos meus fios de divulgação científica, clique aqui.
I currently work in Supernova Neutrino Detection. In my Masters I investigated if we can use neutrinos from a Core Collapse Supernova as a way of measuring the distance or the explosion energy. I worked with numerical simulations of neutrino detection writting a code in Python that I want to make available to the whole astroparticle physics community as a Python library.

Supernova Observation and Distance Estimation using Neutrino Detectors
Supernova Observation and Distance Estimation using Neutrino Detectors
(2021 - Today)
Can we use neutrinos as a probe for finding the location of a Supernova in the sky, that is, its distance and direction? Answering this question is the main objective of my Master. (As soon as I defend, I'll upload my dissertation here)
General Relativistic Three-Body Simulator
General Relativistic Three-Body Simulator
(2021 - Today)
This project started as a Hackathon challenge in the McGill Physics Hachathon in 2021. Today, me and some friends (Check them out :D João Augusto Sobral, João Pedro Valeriano, Felipe Fontinele Nunes) try to improve our simulations and investigate the stability of some orbits in three-body systems under the effects of general relativity.
A Race for Survival: Chemotaxis in Bacteria
A Race for Survival: Chemotaxis in Bacteria
(2023 - Today)
We investigate in which kind of scenarios is chemotatic behavior good or bad for bacteria that are being exposed to a toxic substance.

Here I place my personal class notes on some topics. For now, all of them are written in Portuguese only and not all of them are complete (actually most are still incomplete).
