About me

I am an Associate Professor at the Applied Mathematics Department of the Institute of Mathematics and Statistics (IME) of the University of São Paulo (USP), Brazil. In 2026, I am at Politecnico di Milano, Department of Mathematics, as a visiting professor.

My main interests are related to numerical analysis of fluid dynamics, geophysical flows, dynamical core development (atmosphere/ocean), numerical methods for seismic imaging, and biomathematics/statistics.

Do not hesitate to contact me in case you wish to establish any research collaboration or would like to discuss any of my projects or papers.

Short presentation summary: Associate professor at the Department of Applied Mathematics at the Institute of Mathematics and Statistics (IME) – University of São Paulo (USP), with habilitation thesis defended in 2019 at USP. PhD in numerical analysis at IME-USP, 2013. Visiting Fellow at the Isaac Newton Institute of Mathematical Sciences (Univ. of Cambridge), 2012. Honorary Research Fellow in Mathematics at the University of Exeter, UK, 2015. Visiting Professor at Politecnico di Milano, Italia, 2026. Associate Editor of Monthly Weather Review (2015-2020, 2025 to date). Member of the Brazilian Academy of Sciences (2023-2027). Main interests are related to numerical modeling of global atmosphere and fluid dynamics on the sphere, and general numerical analysis and methods for different applications.
