He received his bachelor's and licentiate degrees in History (1995) from USP, where he also completed his master's (2000) and doctorate (2005) in Social History. During this period, he took courses, internships and research at the Universidad Nacional Autónoma de México (2002-2003) and Stanford University (2004). He conducted research on the pre-Hispanic and colonial cosmologies and histories of the indigenous peoples of Mesoamerica and the Central Andes, and on these topics, he defended his thesis for a post-doctorate degree and became an associate professor in 2020. Since 2021, he has dedicated himself to studying the ways in which the indigenous peoples of Mesoamerica and the Central Andes practiced and conceived the acts of conquest, domination, command and governance, both in the pre-Hispanic and early colonial periods, in order to understand the production and use of power in these two historical-cultural macro-regions of indigenous America. He is a master's and doctoral advisor in the Postgraduate Program in Social History at FFLCH, USP, and one of the founding members of the Center for Mesoamerican, Amazonian, and Andean Studies (CEMAA) and the Center for Amerindian Studies (CEstA), both at USP, where he works, respectively, as coordinator (since 2000) and researcher (since 2011). He was a member of the Editorial Board, vice editor, and editor of the USP History Magazine. Among his main publications are Gods of Indigenous Mexico, Time, Space, and the Past in Mesoamerica, History and Archaeology of Indigenous America, a book of which he is one of the organizers, and 'Texts and Images, Stories and Cosmologies Indigenous to Mesoamerica and the Central Andes'. He was a high school and elementary school teacher between 1992 and 1997 and wrote the textbook Pre-Hispanic Cities of Mexico and Central America. (Source: Lattes Curriculum)
