About

I am an Assistant Professor at the Department of Mathematics at PUC-Rio, Rio de Janeiro, Brazil. Broadly speaking, my research interests include PDEs and their applications to different fields: probability theory, fluid dynamics and solving real-world problems.

I did my postdoc at Fluid dynamics Laboratory at IMPA, Rio de Janeiro, and my mentor is Dan Marchesin. Before I was a researcher at Chebyshev Laboratory of Mathematics & Computer Science department of St. Petersburg State University involved in the lab’s collaboration with petroleum company GazpromNeft.

I did my PhD under the supervision of Prof. Alexander Nazarov at the junction of probability theory and spectral theory. For the Russian version of PhD thesis see the link.
