He conducted postdoctoral research between 2012 and 2015 in the space physics division of UNIVAP, funded by FAPESP. He conducted postdoctoral research between 2015-2017 and 2017-2019 at the Instituto Tecnológico de Aeronáutica (ITA), funded by CNPq and CAPES, respectively. He was developing postdoctoral research between 2019 and 2023 at the National Institute for Space Research (INPE) funded by CNPq. He was currently a researcher and collaborating professor in the Graduate Program of the Department of Physics at ITA until 2023. He works in the area of Geosciences with an emphasis on Geophysics, working on the following topics: space weather, magnetosphere-ionosphere coupling, ionospheric irregularities of large and medium scales, and wave propagation in the ionosphere using GPS signals, ion probes, and satellites. It also acts in the physics of ionizing and non-ionizing environmental radiation (from the lower ATMOSRAD atmosphere) and terrestrial magnetism (MAGTER). Reviewer of important journals since 2012. Selected as one of the "TOP 10" reviewers of the journal Advances in Space Research of 2013 and 2017, which received certification with the ELSEVIER REVIEWER RECOGNITION seal.
