Addressing public health questions with computational modeling
I am a researcher at the “Gleb Wataghin” Institute of Physics, University of Campinas (IFGW-UNICAMP), Brazil. I work with computational epidemiology and contagion dynamics, currently focused on dengue and the dynamics of its main vector Aedes aegypti.

Theory meets practice
Combining my theoretical background with my experience in applied computational modeling, I help our research team to provide evidence-based insights in epidemiology.
At the CEPH lab, we have worked with public health institutions by providing forecasts of respiratory diseases. We also developed a mosquito abundance forecasting tool, in partnership with local health and vector control authorities in the USA. We also work on fundamental research, unveilling transmission patterns of respiratory infections using mechanistic and statistical modeling approaches.
I have also developed an educational tool for students to practice their decision-makers skills during class, used since 2023 at IU.
I am driven by curiosity and I’m always eager to work on new topics and improve my skills.
