My main area of research is Theoretical Biophysics, and, for a number of years now, I have been mostly interested in the mysteries of protein folding and function, as a member of CCMAR.

For this, I do computer simulations and apply models first developed for Solid State Physics and Nonlinear Physics (for a thorough review of this field please see The Encyclopedia of Nonlinear Science).

More details about my research can be found here.

My teaching activities are summarized (in Portuguese) here.
