Current Activities...
I am a research fellow in the group on Large Graphs and Networks at the Catholic University of Louvain at Louvain-la-Neuve, Belgium. I hold an Academie Universitarie Louvain/Marie Curie fellowship.

My Main Research Interests...
My research is mostly data-driven. I use the network formalism to model empirical data, trying to find non-trivial patterns on the resulting structure. The focus is to develop new methods to find patterns in these structures and to understand how these patterns emerge and evolve in time. The datasets I've studied are related to diverse problems, ranging from airports, books and complaints, to sexual and social contacts. I am especially interested in the dynamical properties of these systems. Therefore, much of my research has been devoted to investigate the evolution of these structures and to study dynamical processes on the evolving network.
My Background...
I graduated in Physics, with a minor in Informatics at the University of São Paulo at São Carlos, Brazil, in 2005. The university studies were followed by a master thesis in Computational Physics at the same university in 2007. More recently, in 2011, I got a PhD in Theoretical Physics at Umeå University, Sweden.
