From the southern coast of São Paulo, he has a degree in physics from UNICAMP, where he worked with quantum information theory and quantum computing and began exploring quantum biology. Today he is a PhD candidate in quantum biology in Oldenburg, Germany, where he works in a multidisciplinary environment to understand the radical pair mechanism and its role in the navigation of small migratory birds. His focus is on using computational calculations and information theory to assess how different models of the radical pair mechanism fit the observed experimental results, mainly seeking to understand which conditions are necessary for the radical-pair magnetoreception mechanism to function in migratory birds.
