Hailing from Brazil, I hold both an M. Sc. and a Ph.D. in Plants Taxonomy and Systematics from the University of Tokyo. Currently I am working as a project Assistant Professor for the University of Tokyo, teaching a course on academic writing. My research revolves around elucidating the evolutionary history of extant lineages of ferns in order to suggest new taxonomic combinations. My latest studies has brought insight on how some particular species of ferns are delimited, including the discovery of new species. I also have a deep interest in education, in particular how to develop tools to facilitate in-class activities when teaching science-related contents.
