Bernardo Alves Furtado

Hi everyone, I am an urban analyst with a background on architecture, geography and economics with a PhD from University of Utrecht and UFMG/Brazil (in co-tutorship). I am a tenured researcher and, presently, I hold a Deputy Director position at a think-tank attached to the government (IPEA) and a researcher productivity grant from CNPq. My main focus nowadays is public policy. At the moment, I am leading a project with international consultants to write a book about Modeling Complex Systems for Public Policies. I am also trying to develop a model of public finances which could gain a lot from other CSSS participants’ inputs. In my spare time I like reading Scandinavian thriller literature, watching tennis on TV, running, and riding my (old) bike.
