I hold a PhD in Sociology from the University of Brasília (UnB) and I work as a tenured researcher at Ipea, a federal think-tank headquartered in Brasília, Brazil. I conduct academic and policy-oriented research on poverty, inequality, and related issues.

My first book, Uma História de Desigualdade: A Concentração de Renda entre os Ricos no Brasil, 1926-2013 (Hucitec, 2018), is available here.
