Universidade de São Paulo (USP). Instituto de Astronomia, Geofísica e Ciências Atmosféricas (IAG) (Institutional affiliation from the last research proposal) Birthplace: Brazil
Holds a Bachelor's degree in Physics from the Federal University of Pernambuco, where he worked on a project on the topic of Quantized Billiards and served as a teaching assistant for the Structure of Matter course. Earned his Master's degree in Astronomy from the Institute of Astronomy, Geophysics, and Atmospheric Sciences at the University of São Paulo (IAG-USP), where he worked on high-energy astrophysics based on gamma-ray observations from the Fermi space telescope. Holds a Ph.D. in Astronomy from IAG-USP, where he studied globular clusters and active galactic nuclei, always focusing on aspects of high-energy astrophysics. He was a visiting Ph.D. student for one year at the Università degli Studi di Torino, Italy, and for two months at the Harvard-Smithsonian Center for Astrophysics. Was a postdoctoral fellow at the University of Würzburg, Germany, and at the Istituto Nazionale di Fisica Nucleare, in Turin, Italy. Has experience with optical observations (SOAR, TNG, and OPD telescopes) and gamma-ray observations (Fermi-LAT, MAGIC, and LST), as well as familiarity with survey data such as SDSS and AllWISE. He is currently a researcher at the Brazilian Center for Physical Research. (Source: Lattes Curriculum)

A considerable fraction of the cataloged gamma-ray sources observed with the Large Area Telescope (LAT) aboard the Fermi Gamma-ray Space Telescope are either blazar candidates of uncertain type (BCUs) or unknown sources (UGS) which have no obvious counterparts at other wavelengths. With the goal of unveiling the nature of these classes of gamma-sources, we propose a multifaceted research …
In our current understanding of the structure formation in the universe, dominated by cold dark matter, growth happens hierarchically, through fusions. Galaxy clusters have a special position in this scenario as they are the largest structures (dark matter halos) to have reach equilibrium. For reason not yet completely understood the radial density profile of those halos, over 5 decades i…
About one-third of the gamma-ray sources listed in the third Fermi Large Area Telescope (LAT) catalog have no firmly established counterpart at lower energies and so are classified as unidentified gamma-ray sources (UGSs). Identifying the low energy counterpart of the UGSs is one of the major scientific challenges faced by the Fermi-LAT Collaboration and is being inspected in many differe…
