I am a Hans Rademacher Instructor of Mathematics at the Department of Mathematics of the University of Pennsylvania, in Philadelphia, PA, USA. During the Summer and Fall of 2016, I visited the Max Planck Institute for Mathematics, in Bonn, Germany. Starting in July 2018, I will be an Assistant Professor at the Department of Mathematics and Computer Science of Lehman College of the City University of New York.
I obtained my PhD from the Department of Mathematics of the University of Notre Dame, USA, in the Spring of 2015, under the supervision of Karsten Grove (whose 70th birthday was celebrated in 2016). My postdoctoral mentors were Werner Ballmann at the Max Planck Institute and Wolfgang Ziller at Penn.
My fields of research are Differential Geometry, Geometric Analysis, and Partial Differential Equations. I work in a broad array of topics including conformal geometry, geometric flows, minimal surfaces, bifurcation in variational problems, rank rigidity, and manifolds with positive or nonnegative curvature. My approach to challenging problems in these areas is often guided by investigating key examples that either arise from symmetry assumptions, or that are amenable to symbolic or numeric high performance computational tools.
I am a member of the American Mathematical Society (AMS) and of the Brazilian Mathematical Society (SBM), and a reviewer for Zentralblatt Math and Mathematical Reviews (MathSciNet). I am also an enthusiast of MathOverflow; you can find my user profile here.
