 Brief Summary: I work at Laboratório Nacional de Computação Científica-LNCC, a research lab in Brazil.

From 2012-2016 I will be serving as an associate editor of the Journal TEMA - Tendências em Matemática Aplicada e Computacional, a mathematical journal of the main Brazilian society in applied mathematics - SBMAC. In 2010 and 2012 I will be the main editor of the proceedings of the CNMAC, the main Brazilian meeting in computational and applied mathematics. Such meeting gather around 600 people from all over the country, and around 500 papers are submitted for publication in a single year.

In 2011 I became "Pesquisador nível I do CNPq", an upgrade from the level II that I held since since 2005. In 2009 I received a prestigious three year FAPERJ grant "Rio de Janeiro young researcher," and I take the opportunity to acknowledge the long term support from the funding agencies CNPq and FAPERJ.

In 2008 I took part in the New Directions ShortCourse: Mathematical Neuroscience, sponsored by the IMA, which I gratefully acknowledge.

 I was quite happy to be invited to deliver short courses at two important Brazilian conferences, the ENAMA II - National Conference on mathematical Analysis and Applications (2008), and the 62o. SBA - Seminário brasileiro de Análise (2005). In both I talked about numerical discretization for multiscale problems. I thank the organizers for the kind invitations. In 2004 I was also invited to become a reviewer for the Mathematical Reviews of the American Mathematical Society-AMS. I was very pleased that I received an award from Elsevier-SIAM to attend the 50th SIAM Anniversary and Annual Meeting in 2002. This grant has been awarded to only five people within the "outreach" countries.

I completed my Ph.D.  at the PennState University, Department of Mathematics.  During my Ph.D., I worked under the supervision of Douglas Arnold, in the analysis of dimensional reduction. Then I took a NSF-Postdoc position at the Mathematical Science Research Institute-MSRI, where I took part at the workshop Elastic Shells: Modeling, Analysis and Numerics. That was just before I held another postdoc position at LNCC. In 2002 I was offered a permanent position.

Since 2009, I am the head of the LNCC Library's Comittee. I also served two, nonconsecutive, two year terms as the chair of the Department of Applied and Computational Mathematics, (2003-2004 and 2009-2011). I was the vice-chair from 2007-2009.

From 1999-2001, Frédéric Valentin and I took care of the Applied Mathematics Department homepage at LNCC. We also managed the seminars of the institute up to 2002.
