I hold a Ph.D. in Astronomy from Instituto de Astronomia, Geofísica e Ciências Atmosféricas of Universidade de São Paulo. Currently, I am a postdoctoral researcher at Instituto de Física of Universidade de São Paulo. I am member of the S-PLUS and COIN collaborations. For S-PLUS, I have been involved in the data releases development since 2021 with the S-PLUS DR2. I am leading the search for quasar candidates (including anomalous quasars) and estimation of photometric redshifts for S-PLUS using a variety of Machine Learning and Deep Learning techniques. I am former director (2022) and former vice-director (2023) of Research and Development of Turing USP, a student organization focused on artificial intelligence. I see myself as a problem-solver, I enjoy working with any type of data or astronomical object and I love new challenges.

A brief summary of my academic experience
Thesis title: “Classification and redshift estimation of new quasars in photometric surveys, using S-PLUS as study case”
Our object classifier is the current primary source to photometrically select stars, quasars or galaxies in S-PLUS DR2, DR3, and DR4. During these years, I had experience with querying, cross-matching and/or analyzing data from S-PLUS, SDSS, WISE, GAIA, GALEX, GAMA, and ALHAMBRA surveys. I have been working on this project since my first year of undergraduate in Astronomy (2014), being supervised by Prof. Nina T. S. Hirata from the Computer Science department of IME-USP at that time.
With the goal of doing spectroscopic follow-up of quasar candidates, we were awarded:
During my final year, I worked on two projects coordinated by researchers in Medicine and in Archeology:
