Profile I’m a currently a Mathematical Physicist, a Theoretical Physicist and sometimes a High Energy Physicist. I was once an Electrical Engineer and a Bronze medalist at International Mathematics Olympiads. I enjoy taking different challenges. I got my PhD in the Weinberg Theory Group at University of Texas at Austin, US, where we were guided towards a broad formation in theoretical particle physics and cosmology and we were invited to give many talks in different topics. My interests are in mathematical physics (BPS monopoles and its twistor description), QCD, Supersymmetric QCD models, Scattering Amplitudes, Quantum Gravity, Topological String Theory and other connections between Theoretical Physics and advanced Math.

R&D and Testing Engineer of data networks for Siemens Telecommunication —1995—1999. Hired by CITS to work at Siemens in Curitiba (Brazil), Kanata (Canada) and Berlim (Germany).

Research Project The current project we exam the method Gauss-Manin Connection in Disguise (GMCD) developed by Dr. Hossein Movasati (IMPA) in the moduli of SU(2) magnetic monopoles and topological strings. GMCD explores the hodge structure in the moduli of enhanced varieties and finds modular-type functions attached to them. I recently found a connection between

curvature equations in the moduli of Yang-Mills-Higgs monopoles and spectral curves using GMCD. This project shows promising application in Seiberg-Witten theory and integrability.
