Welcome to my homepage. I am a differential geometer interested in Lie groupoids, deformation theory, Poisson geometry, and geometry of spaces with singularities, among other things.

 Currently I am a researcher at the Centre for Mathematics of the University of Coimbra (CMUC) 

Previously I was a graduate student at Utrecht University, a postdoctoral researcher at CMUC, at the Max Planck Institute for Mathematics and at the IME - University of São Paulo, and an associate researcher at the Centre for Mathematics of the University of Porto.

In order to understand the geometry of singular spaces, I study transverse geometry for Lie groupoids. For example, I have been studying transverse measures on Lie groupoids, the role of Lie groupoids in noncommutative geometry, and relations between the theories of proper Lie groupoids and of (particular kinds of) singular Riemannian foliations. 

Recently I also started studying formal moduli problems in geometry and algebra, the use of Lie groupoids in Cartan Geometries, and numerical methods in Differential Geometry.
