Universidade de São Paulo (USP). Instituto de Astronomia, Geofísica e Ciências Atmosféricas (IAG) (Institutional affiliation from the last research proposal) Birthplace: Brazil
Bachelor in Physics with specialisation in Astronomy Universidade de São Paulo (2007), Master in Physics from the Universidade de São Paulo (2010) and PhD in Astrophysics from Universidade de São Paulo (thesis title: "Dynamic properties of dark matter "), having developed part of the doctoral project at the Institute d'Astrophysique de Paris (IAP). He worked as a postdoc at IAG-USP, with one-year period at the University of Michigan. Later, he was a postdoc Research Associate at the University of Central Lancashire (UCLan) - UK, a Research Fellow at the University of Michigan and Research Associate at the University of Arizona/Steward Observatory. He is currently Associate Researcher at the National Observatory in Brazil (with a CNPq-C productivity fellowship) and co-chair of the Milky Way survey working group of the DESI collaboration.

The main goal of this project is to broaden the present understanding of the relaxation process (violent relaxation) in dark matter halos and collisionless self-gravitating systems in general, as well as to characterize, with simple theoretical models, the stationary state achieved at the end of this process. This study will use numerical siulation data, generated with the code GADGET-2, …
There are different models for the density profiles and velocity fields of galactic dark matter halos. Some of them were proposed to adjust the profiles obtained in numerical simulations of structure formation, specially the NFW profile, although without theoretical justification. Recently, some explanations for these profiles from first principles have been proposed, taking in account so…
The main objective of this project is to constrain the Galactic (especially the dark matter halo) potential making use of accurate 3 dimensional positions and velocities (phase space coordinates) of millions of stars in the stellar halo provided by the Gaia survey and a ground based spectroscopic survey (DESI). The availability of accurate phase space coordinates can yield orbits for thes…
