Research, teaching and bridges between formal knowledge and the private sector.

I am a doctoral candidate in International Relations at the University of Brasília (IREL/UnB), investigating planetary politics and the metatheoretical limits of IR as a discipline. I hold degrees in International Relations (UnB) and Data Science (Estácio), and I work as a Political and Data Consultant at BMJ Consultores Associados — leading the BMJ Digital product, which combines data science, OSINT, and discourse analysis.
