PhD in Physics from the Université Paris-Diderot / Paris-7 (2012), assistant professor at the University Paris-Diderot / Paris-7 (2010-2012), post-doct and associate fellow at the Max-Planck Institute for Nuclear Physics in Heidelberg (2012-2017). Graduated in Astronomy from the Federal University of Rio de Janeiro (2008), Engineer Diploma from École Polytechnique (France, 2008), and Master in Physics and Theoretical Astrophysics from École Normale Supérieur de Lyon (France, 2009). He is currently an Assistant Professor at the São Carlos Physics Institute at the University of São Paulo (USP). He is a member of the H.E.S.S. collaboration (since 2009), where he was Convener of the Thematic Group of Astroparticles, member of the Observing Committee and member of the collaboration's Executive Board (2014-2017). He is also a member of the Cherenkov Telescope Array consortium (CTA, since 2011), where he coordinates the Galactic Center Key Science Project. He works in the field of high energy astrophysics and particle astrophysics, working mainly on the following topics: data analysis, simulation of atmospheric showers, search for dark matter, modeling of black hole astrophysics and its gamma emission, astrophysics from the Galactic Center, astrophysical modeling of acceleration and propagation of cosmic rays.

Astrophysical observations of high-energy gamma-rays play a crucial role in the exploration of non-thermal phenomena in the Universe in their most extreme and violent forms. It can also provide unique information about exotic Particle Physics phenomena beyond the Standard Model. For instance, an intense gamma-ray production might be expected from the annihilation of non-baryonic dark matt…
The true nature of the largest matter density component of the Universe, the so-called dark matter (DM), is one of the most elusive problems of Physics. One primary direction for DM searches are for Weakly Interacting Massive Particles (WIMPs). These are particles with masses in the GeV -- TeV range and weak-scale interaction strength. In high density environments of the Universe, DM may …
The region surrounding the center of our Galaxy is one of most complex and richest regions studied in high energy astrophysics harboring a variety of potential sources of high-energy radiation. Among these sources there is the closest supermassive black hole to Earth, a cosmic Pevatron, dense molecular clouds, strong star-forming activity, multiple supernova remnants and pulsar wind nebul…
Among all the high-energy environments of our Galaxy, the Galactic Center region is definitely the richest. It harbours a large amount of high-energy emitters, including the closest supermassive black hole, a cosmic Pevatron, dense molecular clouds, strong star-forming activity, multiple supernova remnants and pulsar wind nebulae, arc-like radio structures, as well as the base of what may…

Apesar das evidências crescentes de que a matéria escura astrofísica existe no Universo, sua natureza permanece indeterminada. A principal partícula candidata a explicar a matéria escura são as chamadas "Weakly Interacting Massive Particles" . Estas são partículas com massas na faixa GeV - TeV e força de interação na escala fraca. Em ambientes de alta densidade do Universo, a matéria escu…

It is generally accepted nowadays that the matter density of the Universe mainly consists of an unknown component, called Dark Matter (DM). It is also believed that DM is formed of a new neutral, stable and non-baryonic elementary particle. In high density environments of the Universe DM may self-annihilate and produce a strong gamma-ray signal. Among all possible targets, the Galactic Ce…
