Birthplace: Brazil

I hold a Bachelor's degree in Biological Physics (2006-2009) from the São Paulo State University Júlio de Mesquita Filho (UNESP/IBILCE), a Master's degree (2010-2011), and a Ph.D. (2011-2015) in Molecular Biophysics, in Physical-Chemistry of Macromolecules area at UNESP, with a sandwich period at the National University of Córdoba (Córdoba, Argentina). I completed a postdoctoral fellowship at UNESP/IBILCE (2017-2021), where my research focused mainly on studying the interaction of bioactive peptides with model membranes mimicking cancerous and bacterial cells, using a range of biophysical assays such as fluorescence spectroscopy, circular dichroism, zeta potential, differential scanning calorimetry (DSC), visualization of giant vesicles (GUVs) by optical and confocal fluorescence microscopy, and Langmuir monolayers. He also worked as a postdoctoral researcher with a research internship abroad scholarship (BEPE/FAPESP) at the National University of Córdoba (Argentina, 2018-2019), conducting a systematic study of surface rheology using techniques such as single particle tracking (SPT), fluorescence correlation spectroscopy (FCS), and optical tweezers to investigate the mechanical properties of model membranes affected by peptides. I worked as an RD Specialist at P+F Products and Features GmbH, developing medical devices. Currently, I am an Assistant Professor in the Department of Physics at UNESP/IBILCE and a researcher in the Graduate Program (PPG) in Biomolecular and Pharmacological Sciences and the PPG in Microbiology, both at UNESP, dedicating myself to research on the interaction of bioactive molecules with membranes.
