About Me

I am a geophysicist with a strong interest in quantitative seismic interpretation, rock physics and reservoir characterization. I hold a Bachelor’s degree in Geology from the State University of Rio de Janeiro (UERJ) and a Master’s degree in Applied Geophysics from the Federal University of Bahia (UFBA). Since 2006, I have worked as a geophysicist at Petrobras, where my career has largely focused on seismic interpretation in the major sedimentary basins along Brazil’s southeastern coast. Recently, I transitioned to the Quantitative Interpretation sector, where I have been exploring advanced techniques for seismic analysis.

In Fall 2025, I began my PhD in Geophysics at the University of Wyoming, where my research focuses on optimal elastic parameterizations for facies and pore-fluid discrimination. My work integrates well-log analysis, seismic inversion, and machine-learning approaches to enhance quantitative seismic workflows.
