Research Experience
  • Since February 2024, has been an Associate Professor in the Department of Mathematics at Instituto Superior Técnico in Lisbon, Portugal. Previously, held positions as an FCT Principal Investigator at Instituto Superior Técnico, a NOMIS Fellow at IST Austria, an Assistant Professor at Universidade Federal Fluminense (UFF) (2018-2021), a postdoc at IMPA (2017-2018), and an Elliot Assistant Research Professor at Duke University (2014-2017). Also had a research membership at MSRI in the fall of 2022 and a visiting scientist position at the Max Planck Institute in Bonn (Germany), which was visited in the summer of 2015.
Education
  • Completed PhD in 2014 at Imperial College London, under the supervision of Sir Simon Donaldson.
Background
  • Research interests: Differential Geometry and Mathematical Physics, main research areas are special holonomy and gauge theory.
