I work at the Brazilian Agency for Research and Innovation. I am also a Senior Lecturer at FGV EBAPE and a Guest Lecturer at IAG Business School. I was a visiting researcher at McMaster University, the Department of Decision Science at INSEAD, and iRisk at IESEG School of Management.
My interest lies in the intersection of finance/economics, psychology, and decision-making. I employ theoretical and empirical analysis to better understand financial and economic decisions and their psychological underpinnings, generating formal foundations as well as real-world applications. This research has been published in leading academic journals, including the Management Science and the Journal of Mathematical Psychology.
I hold a Ph.D. in Industrial Engineering, M.S. in Applied Mathematics, and a B.S. in Mathematics (with Honors).
