I obtained Bachelor's and Master's degrees in Physics at the Federal University of Paraíba in Brazil, and a PhD degree in Physics at University of Porto, Portugal. During my Bachelor and Master programs, my work was focused on the stable analytical solutions of differential equations in systems with scalar fields. My PhD thesis was on the subjects of Dark Energy and Varying Fundamental Constants. I succeed in carrying out accurate network simulations of the evolution of the universe in the presence of string networks. During my studies, I developed strong skills in implementing numerically differential equations and performing statistical analysis of spatial pattern networks.
Having a restless mind, I decided to expand my scientific knowledge and use my expertise to investigate Mathematical and Computational Biology. By combining analytical and computational skills, I have applied the Rock-Paper-Scissors game and Lotka-Volterra equations to describe the trophic interactions between the species. For two years, I worked as a Guest Researcher at the Institute for Biodiversity and Ecosystem Dynamics at the University of Amsterdam.
All research that I have been carrying out is based on statistical analysis of numerical data provided by simulations. This is crucial to validate the results to be published. For this reason, besides to master programming in C, using GSL library and graphic software, it is fundamental to be fluent in statistical packages.
I am a dynamic, sharp-witted, resourceful and creative researcher who can break out of usual thought patterns to see things afresh and push forward new ideas, innovative mould-breaking concepts and winning formulas.
