about me
I’m a research engineer in the domain of numerical modeling. I’m a passionate about the study of physical phenomena by means of mathematical and numerical models. I was born and raised in Brazil where I obtained a Civil Engineering degree. After moving to France, I completed my master’s degree in numerical modeling and sustainable construction at the Ecole Normale Supérieure Paris-Saclay. I have recently finished my Ph.D. in numerical modeling of multi-physics phenomena at Sorbonne University.c
