About me  

I'm a second year Ph.D. student at Cornell. I'm interested in algorithmic and theoretical foundations for problems mainly motivated by networking and distributed computing. I'm working with Bobby Kleinberg as my advisor.

I did my undergraduate and MS studies in the Federal University of Minas Gerais, Brazil.
