In 2005, I received two undergraduate degrees in Physics (teaching and research) from the University of Sao Paulo, Brazil. I also received a Master's degree from the same university in theoretical physics, in 2010. You may find my Master's dissertation in Portuguese here. In 2011, I moved to the United States to pursue a Ph.D. in Physics at the University of New Hampshire, under the supervision of Professor Jimmy Raeder. I graduated in the Spring of 2015. The title of my thesis is "A study of interplanetary shock geoeffectiveness controlled by impact angles using simulations and observations". You may download my thesis from this link. For more information about me, take a look at my CV below. If you are from Brazil, you may take a look at my currículo Lattes.
As a supplement to my Ph.D. studies, I attended two summer schools on space physics: the 2013 CISM Summer School (Center for Integrated Space Weather Modeling), at NCAR (National Center for Atmospheric Research), and the 2014 Heliophysics Summer School, at UCAR (University Corporation for Atmospheric Research), both located in Boulder, CO USA. Also in the summer of 2014, I attended the BU 2nd Summer School on Plasma Processes in Space Physics, at the Boston University in Boston, MA USA. Participating in both summer schools was of great importance in my career not only by improving my understanding in space weather and heliophysics subjects, but also gave me the opportunity to meet and interact with leader scientists who perform cutting edge research in those fields.
