I am a high-energy astrophysicist and a final-year graduate student in the Department of Physics and Astronomy at Johns Hopkins University, where I work under the guidance of Suvi Gezari. In Fall 2026, I will start as a Member (Independent Research Fellow) of the School of Natural Sciences at the Institute for Advanced Study in Princeton.

I am interested in the general aspects of black hole accretion, formation, and demographics, particularly those that can be probed by time-domain astronomy. Tidal disruption events have been the major focus of my research.

Before JHU, I earned both my B.Sc. and Master’s degrees in Physics and Astronomy at the Federal University of Santa Catarina in Brazil.
