• [2024.01.16]: I have just started my new job as a Research Engineer at the Institut Curie in Paris! 

• [2023.11.16]: Uhul! I have just been accepted for a permanent Research Engineer position at the INSERM to work at the Institut Curie (Paris) in the team of Dr. Ludger Johannes! Note: INSERM = Institut National de la Santé et de la Recherche Médicale.

• [2023.09.18-2023.09.29]: I am attending the traditional Physics School in Les Houches. Topic: Waves in Complex Media (French Optical Society).

• [2023.08.08]: The project "Wiki MdB: O guia online" is now accessible at https://www.wikimdb.fr . If you are a Brazilian student/researcher that is about to come to France to study/work make sure to check it out!

• [2023.06.01]: Uhul! We are submitting our latest work "Demixing fluorescence time traces transmitted by multimode fibers"! You can check the arXiv preprint here: https://arxiv.org/abs/2306.00695

• [2023.05.30-2023.06.01]: We have some collaborators from Italy visiting our lab to perform some in vivo experiments!  Fingers crossed!

• [2023.05.24-26]: I am participating in the NeuroFrance conference in Lyon.  A huge variety of research groups trying different approaches to understand better the brain and neuronal diseases. It was a very interesting experience to get in touch with so many neuroscientists from different backgrounds!

• [2023.04.08] - With the support of other organizing committee members in MdB, I began to develop a website for Brazilian foreigners in France called "Wiki MdB: o guia online". It is a website in a format similar to a Wiki.  The goal of this website is to become a general online platform with administrative instructions for Brazilian students and researchers that have recently arrived in France. It will have step-by-step instructions about how to solve common French bureaucratic procedures. If you are curious, you can already access it at:  https://sites.google.com/view/wikimdb (under construction!).

• [2023.03.31] - I joined a new organizing committee at Fond. Maison du Brésil (MdB) at Cité Universitaire (CIUP) in Paris to help Brazilian students and researchers with French administration.

• [2023.03.30] - I presented a poster at the conference 18èmes journées Imagerie Optique Non-Conventionnelle, 30 et 31 mars 2023, Institut Langevin, Paris.

• [2023.03.30] - I gave a short talk at the Seminaire de Recherches de la Fond. Maison du Brésil (MdB)  about the research I have been doing in Paris.

• [2022.12.06]: Welcome Enora BRÉMONT (ENS L3)! Our new intern! Yay!

• [2022.10.31]: A very friendly interview (science communication) that I gave to Rui SINTRA, a reporter from Instituto de Física de São Carlos (IFSC) of the University of São Paulo (USP), is out on the IFSC's website and Instagram. Check them out:
