I am doing my PhD on “Dynamics of the Urban Metabolism” at the Swiss Federal Institute of Technology (EPFL). I'm trying to understand how cities modulate our resource consumption. For that I use data analysis, dynamical system modeling and ABM. I hold a MSc degree in Complex Systems Modeling and a BSc in Environmental Engineering. Before my PhD, I worked as a data scientist at PENSA, Rio de Janeiro’s Big Data office, and co-founded two organizations: DATABASE / RJ - focused on data education and data-based policy dissemination - and Metabolism of Cities - dedicated to research and dissemination of the environmental impact of cities.
