Researcher in Civil Engineering at COPPE/UFRJ and member of NUMATS – Center for Sustainable Materials and Technologies. His research focuses on cement-based materials, particularly the rheological and mechanical behavior of mortars and concretes at early ages, with emphasis on elasticity development, structuration, thixotropy, hydration kinetics, and 3D concrete printing. His interests also include thermochemical and computational modeling of cementitious materials, digital construction, and sustainable construction materials.
