Welcome to my website!
I am a Postdoctoral Scholar in Education at the Stanford Center on Longevity.
I am a quantitative social scientist and sociologist of education who studies race and class inequalities in educational pathways, i.e., students’ progress through educational institutions and transitions into the labor market. My research concentrates on shedding light into the mechanisms by which these inequalities are formed with the objective of informing equity-driven policies and practices.
Methodologically, I view the growing field of computational social sciences as providing valuable tools to analyze complex social processes that have imposed challenges to traditional techniques. My research focuses on developing and applying computational approaches, such as machine learning and agent-based simulations, to further our understanding of two inequality-producing mechanisms:
I am originally from São Paulo, Brazil. I hold a Ph.D. in Sociology of Education from the New York University (2023) and a B.A. in Economics from the University of Wisconsin-Madison (2017).
