I am Associate Professor of Brazilian Studies at Florida International University. My research interests are Brazilian Foreign Policy, Populism and the Global Far-Right, Latin American Politics, and Brazil-Middle East relations.

I hold a Ph.D. in Political Science from Universidade de São Paulo, where I also completed my Master's degree. I also hold an M.A. in International Relations from Universidade Estadual de Campinas, a post-graduate diploma in History and Political Cultures from Universidade Federal de Minas Gerais and a B.A. in International Relations from Pontifícia Universidade Católica de Minas Gerais.

I am the co-author of a book on the United Nations titled "A Organização das Nações Unidas"​ (Ed. Del Rey, 2006) and the author of several peer-reviewed articles and book chapters, including a broad survey of Brazilian foreign policy studies for the Routledge Handbook of Brazilian Politics (2018).

Among my recent publications are "Statecraft under God: Radical Right Populism meets Christian Nationalism in Bolsonaro's Brazil" (Millennium, 2023); "Radical Right Populism and the Politics of Cruelty: The Case of COVID-19 in Brazil Under President Bolsonaro" (Global Studies Quarterly, 2022); "Myths of Multipolarity: The Sources of Brazil's Foreign Policy Overstretch" (Foreign Policy Analysis, 2022); "Brazilian foreign policy under Jair Bolsonaro: far-right populism and the rejection of the liberal international order" (Cambridge Review of International Affairs, 2021); "The hydroxychloroquine alliance: how far-right leaders and alt-science preachers came together to promote a miracle drug" (Revista de Administração Pública, 2021).

Before coming to FIU, I taught at the Fundação Getulio Vargas's São Paulo School of Business in Brazil. I held positions as Visting Professor at the Center for Latin American and Caribbean Studies at Brown University (2024), as Visiting Associate at the University of Michigan's Weiser Center for Emerging Democracies (2019-2020) and as fellow in Israel Studies at Brandeis University (2015). I have also attended courses at Institut Barcelona d'Estudis Internacionals and at Tel Aviv University.
