During my Masters and PhD, which were carried out at Universidade Federal do Rio Grande do Sul (UFRGS, Brazil) under the supervision of Prof. Dr. Rogério Riffel, I have acquired expertise in stellar population (SP) synthesis. This technique is a powerful tool to derive the galaxy star formation history by disentangling the intrinsic properties of the galaxy spectrum such as mass, age, metallicity and dust. This information is of utmost importance for the understanding of the galaxy formation and evolution. My thesis work focused on SP studies in nearby active galaxies using near-infrared (NIR) integral field spectroscopy. During my Masters, I started working with SP synthesis using long-slit NIR spectroscopy of Starburst Galaxies in the local Universe. I am familiar with most of the evolutionary population synthesis models available (e.g. Maraston 2005, Bruzual & Charlot 2003), have expertise using the STARLIGHT code and am experienced in analyzing data with programming language Python.I am currently a postdoc at Universidade Federal de Santa Catarina (UFSC, Brazil), working with panchromatic stellar populations.

graduation at Física from Universidade Federal do Rio Grande do Sul (2012), master's at Physic from Universidade Federal do Rio Grande do Sul (2014) and doctorate at Physic from Universidade Federal do Rio Grande do Sul (2018). Has experience in Astronomy, focusing on Extragalactic Astrophysics, acting on the following subjects: nuclear activity and star formation, active galactic nuclei, núcleos de galáxias, galaxies and mecanismos de radiação.
