I am a Biologist dedicated to researching the biodiversity and evolution of Neotropical vertebrates, with a focus on reptiles and amphibians. I hold a bachelor's degree and teaching certification in Biological Sciences from the Federal Rural University of Rio de Janeiro (2006), a master's degree in Zoology from the Brazilian National Museum, Federal University of Rio de Janeiro (2009), and a Ph.D. in Comparative Biology from the Richard Gilder Graduate School, American Museum of Natural History (2015). I was a postdoctoral fellow of the São Paulo Research Foundation (FAPESP), working on the phylogenomics and historical biogeography of South American lizards at the University of São Paulo (USP), University of Texas at Arlington (UTA), and University of Washington, Seattle (UW). I am currently an acting Instructor at the Department of Biology at the University of Washington, Seattle. (Source: Lattes Curriculum)

Abstract
ABSTRACT: It has passed the time when phylogenetic trees sufficed as the major goal of a research program in comparative biology; they can be better explored if serving other comprehensive evolutionary investigations. In this project, we will examine the identity, relationships, and diversification/biogeographic history of one of the most complex South American lizard radiations, the trop…

Abstract
In the post-doctoral project submitted to FAPESP, we stated that our goal was to examine for the first time, in a continental scale, the identity, origin, and biogeographic history of one of the most diverse South American lizard radiations: the tropidurines. To do so, we need to take advantage of advanced sequencing techniques (next generation sequencing, NGS) and truly comprehensive dat…
