I am a postdoctoral researcher at the Federal University of São Carlos. My research interests lie at the intersection of Partial Differential Equations, Several Complex Variables, and Differential Geometry. I am a specialist in local and global solvability for involutive structures, and I have a growing interest in complex and CR structures. I also have experience on how to use algebraic properties of invariant involutive structures on compact Lie groups to understand some analytical properties of such structures. Besides mathematics, my hobbies are cycling, making beer, playing guitar and eventually playing video games.

Other Interests

In my free time I like to be with my wife. We often go for a walk, a bike ride. We love watching TV shows. Sometimes we also play video games.

I love reading science fiction, medieval fantasy, and studying languages. I love learning and I am always learning something. Recently I started studying music and learning to play the guitar. I still sound bad!

I also like to make and drink beer.

I love free software and free culture.
