Degree in Geophysics at the University of São Paulo in 2006, a direct doctorate in Geophysics in 2011 at the same university with a sandwich internship at the Joseph Fourier University (Grenoble, France), Associate Professor at USP in 2022 of Geophysics at USP. He did two postdocs, at USP and at the University of Tübingen, Germany, in 2011-2013 and 2020-2021, respectively. He develops research on mantle geodynamics, lithosphere rheology and interaction between surface and tectonic processes on continental margins. Victor leads the Tectonophysics Group at IAG / USP, contributing to the development and use of numerical codes with a focus on Computational Geodynamics. His research is funded by different agencies (FAPESP, Serrapilheira and CNPq) and by Petrobras. (Source: Lattes Curriculum)

Tectonic quiescence is a period of nearly null relative plate motion. During the Atlantic Ocean opening, rifting cut across continental segments of supercontinent Pangea that had been through different periods of quiescence, which varied from tens to hundreds of Myr. Using numerical models, we explored the effects of quiescence between orogeny and rifting on the pre-rift lithosphere and s…
The Andean orogeny had a profound impact on the evolution of the Amazon drainage system, modifying the climate in South America and the influx of sediments to the interior and marginal sedimentary basins. Additionally, the dynamic of the surface processes of erosion and deposition continually sculpted the landscape and guided the drainage pattern on the continents. Therefore, the correct …

Orogenic superposition is a complex process that occurs all over the world. Linked to theprocess of building continental plates, multiple collisions - oblique and frontal - have establishedthe current and ancient tectonic plates. In these collisional zones, orogenic superpositionfavours the formation of mineral deposits, depending on their structure and sometimes thermalconditions. Despit…
The planet Earth is unique in the solar system in terms of its geodynamic regime of plate tectonics, in which the Earth's surface is divided into a set of lithospheric plates that move over geological time. An important aspect of this regime is the continuous formation of oceanic plates at mid-ocean ridges - a complex process that involves understanding the behavior of crustal and mantle …
Erosive and depositional processes acting along large fluvial incisions are responsible formoving important volumes of material on Earth's surface. In this way, the distribution of mechanical loads acting on the lithosphere varies through geologic time. The isostatic response to surface mass redistribution is inherently linked to the subsurface stress field, the latter being determined, e…

The objective of this project is to numerically simulate the thermo-mechanical evolution of the interior of rocky planets to reproduce different tectonic regimes. Specifically, it aims to simulate scenarios that reproduce the behavior of plate tectonics, present on planet Earth, as well as the "stagnant lid" regime, present on Mars and Mercury, for example. For this purpose, the thermo-me…
Surface processes of erosion and sedimentation result in load redistribution on the Earth's crust, inducing an isostatic and flexural response of the lithosphere, and the wavelength of this response depends on how rigid the lithospheric plate is. Therefore, the combined study of the denudation history of the continents and the isostatic and flexural response of the lithosphere can contrib…
The aim of this project is to simulate the stress state in the interior of the continental lithosphere to evaluate how lateral heterogeneities, like variations in the crustal and lithospheric thickness along with other rheological properties, can affect the geodynamic evolution of the lithosphere under different regional stress regime. A two-dimensional finite element code will be used to…

The Earth's tectonic regime evolved over geological history culminating in the present Plate Tectonics. Due to secular cooling of the planet over billions of years, it is expected that in the past, its thermal and rheological structure were different, affecting the deformation pattern of crust and lithospheric mantle over geological time. Previous investigations based on thermomechanical…
In the last decade, different geodynamic numerical models were proposed to explain the evolution of the drainage pattern observed in northern South America during the Cenozoic, invoking dynamic topography induced by mantle convection, Andean orogeny, flexure of the lithosphere and surface processes of erosion and sedimentation. Through the use of these numerical models, it was possible to…
