I am currently a PhD student in the Graduate Program in Hydraulic and Sanitary Engineering at the São Carlos School of Engineering (EESC), University of São Paulo (USP), and a Visiting Student Research Collaborator in the Department of Civil and Environmental Engineering at Princeton University.

I was born in the state of Ceará, Brazil, a predominantly semi-arid region where water resource management has always been an integral part of daily life. I hold degrees in Civil Engineering from the Federal University of Ceará (UFC) and in General Engineering from École Centrale de Lille, France, as well as a master's degree from EESC-USP.

My doctoral research focuses on surface water–groundwater interactions in Brazil across multiple spatial and temporal scales. Unfortunately, in many countries, including Brazil, water resource management treats surface water and groundwater separately. Through my research, I aim to improve our understanding of these interactions and contribute to the development of tools that support integrated water resource management in Brazil, helping ensure food security while minimizing environmental impacts.
