Cosmic rays
Universidade Estadual de Campinas (UNICAMP)

I hold a bachelor's and a master's degree in Physics from the Universidade Estadual de Campinas (UNICAMP). I have been working in the field of ultrahigh-energy cosmic rays since 2021. My research focuses on the search for anisotropies in the arrival directions of cosmic rays detected at the Pierre Auger Observatory, which I pursued through three undergraduate research projects and a master's degree in this subject. My projects were selected twice among the top ten per cent of the best works in the exact sciences submitted for awards at UNICAMP's undergraduate research conferences. At the end of my undergraduate studies, I was honoured with the Scientific Merit award, the highest level of recognition that a UNICAMP undergraduate student can receive for their scientific research; I also received an award for completing my bachelor's degree in Physics with an overall score above 87 per cent.
