About me
I’m a Computational Oceanographer and an Assistant Professor at the University of Delaware. I combine physical oceanography, data-driven methods, and high-performance computing to study fundamental multiscale ocean processes and their consequences for ecosystems and human populations.
Originally from Fortaleza (Brazil), I have a degree in Oceanography from the Federal University of Ceará (2014), a Master’s in Physical Oceanography from the University of São Paulo (2017), and a PhD in Computational Science and Engineering from the University of Massachusetts Dartmouth (2023).
In my free time, I love playing accordion, dancing Forró, studying history, and hiking. I am also hemophilic, and I’m passionate about promoting understanding and raising awareness of rare genetic disorders.
Science, Software, and Society
At the intersection of Data Science and Interdisciplinary Oceanography, my research leverages high-performance computational tools to analyze, model, and visualize oceanic and atmospheric processes. My expertise spans a diverse range of topics, from ocean vortices and extreme weather events to oceanographic influences on human populations and marine wildlife.
I am also deeply committed to scientific outreach and education, ensuring that oceanography is accessible to a wider audience. Collaboration is at the core of my work, and I actively engage with scientists, students, and stakeholders to advance interdisciplinary ocean science and promote open, applied, data-driven discovery.
