Curriculum Vitae

I completed a Bachelor and Master degree at the University of São Paulo. My Master Dissertation was on the topic of Quantum Foundations and Quantum Information under the supervision of Bárbara Amaral. In 2021, I was granted a doctoral position at the International Iberian Nanotechnology Laboratory (INL) together with the MAP-fis program (a joint doctoral position between the University of Minho, University of Aveiro and University of Porto) under the supervision of Ernesto Galvão and Rui Soares Barbosa.
