I am currently a postdoc at Unicamp, supported by a grant from the São Paulo Research Foundation (FAPESP) and working with Henrique Sá Earp.
My area of research is in differential geometry. I am primarily interested in problems related to special holonomy manifolds, focusing on the exceptional cases of G2 and Spin(7), see my publications and google scholar.
If you have never heard of G2 geometry, here is a great article by Spiro Karigiannis on What is a G2-manifold?
From 2024 to 2025 I was on leave from Unicamp (2021-) to take up a postdoctoral position (assegnista di ricerca) at the University of Turin, where I worked with Anna Fino and Luigi Vezzoni. Previously, I did my PhD at University College London (2016-2020) during which I was part of the London School of Geometry and Number Theory (an EPSRC funded CDT). I wrote my thesis under the joint supervision of Jason Lotay (Oxford) and Simon Salamon (KCL).
