Bachelor's degree in Physics from the Federal University of Ceará, where he began his research in theoretical physics during his scientific initiation. Presented a thesis on the Randall-Sundrum model and the effects of a fifth dimension on gravitation. He obtained his Master's degree in Physics from the Federal Fluminense University and defended a thesis on the thermodynamics of a black hole in a modified gravity theory. He began his PhD at the State University of Rio de Janeiro studying preheating models in the primordial universe, continuing with the theme of investigating extreme situations involving quantum fields in curved spacetime. Before the end of the first year of his PhD, he changed the topic of his research upon being introduced to the de Broglie-Bohm theory and the possibility of quantum bounces that would prevent the singularity in the Big Bang scenario. Since then, his research has focused on the Quantum Equilibrium Hypothesis (QEH) and the possibility of detecting distinctions between the de Broglie-Bohm theory and the usual quantum theory in cosmological and gravitational scenarios. He spent a sandwich PhD period at Clemson University (SC-USA) under the supervision of Antony Valentini, the original proponent of QEH. In this research, numerical simulations for quantum systems were developed, which have applications not only in the study of QEH but also in various other applications known from de Broglie-Bohm theory. After completing his doctorate, he spent a period as a postdoctoral researcher at the Brazilian Center for Physics Research (CBPF), working with Nelson Pinto-Neto in the Cosmology, Astrophysics, and Fundamental Interactions group. In addition to the research at QEH, he developed two lines of work exploring applications of de Broglie-Bohm theory in cosmological and gravitational scenarios. Currently, his research is focused on bounce scenarios and laboratory tests of quantum gravity. In both scenarios, the de Broglie-Bohm theory offers unique opportunities to test the foundations of quantum mechanics and search for signatures of quantum gravity. In the research on quantum gravitation in the laboratory, there was a deep dive into methods of effective quantum field theories, open quantum systems, and the phenomenology of entanglement and decoherence involved in tests of gravitation and the foundations of quantum mechanics. During the postdoctoral period, he participated as a volunteer mentor in the Scientific Vocational Program of CBPF (PROVOC - CBPF) for four years. In the last three years, your students have been awarded as one of the top three works at the Scientific Vocational Seminar. Has experience with Quantum Field Theory in Curved Spacetime, Topological Defects, Black Hole Thermodynamics, Modified Gravity, Cosmology, Foundations of Quantum Mechanics, Foundations of Statistical Mechanics, Quantum Cosmology, Quantum Gravity, Open Quantum Systems, Decoherence, and Entanglement.
