About

 I am a curious human being fascinated about biology and water! Not as a coincidence, I ended up researching microorganisms in freshwater ecosystems. I've recently finished my PhD supervised by Jesse Shapiro (McGill/UdeM) and co-supervised by Gregor Fussmann (McGill). You can check my CV in the following links in English , French, or Portuguese. You can also check bit of my story and research motivation in this video.

 I am also engaged with science popularization, education and EDI initiatives. A world where anyone willing to become a scientist encounters no barriers for it, and where scientific knowledge is not a mystery to anyone, is the world I want to live in. ​​

Besides science...

When I'm not in a lab nor in front of a computer, I'll be probably thinking about my pets or a new DIY tutorial I want to try. I'm an enthusiastic about pets adoption, I make macramé as a hobby and I try my best to be closer to a "zero waste" life style, trying alternatives such as composting at home and recycling oil. I also love swimming and I used to sing as a soprano in the Brazilian choir of Montreal.
