I studied physics at the State University of S\~{a}o Paulo (Rio Claro, SP, Brazil), finishing my undergraduate degree receiving the award for the class best academic performance. After this, I moved to the city of São Carlos (SP, Brazil) where I received my MSc degree from the Institute of Physics of São Carlos, University of São Paulo. My dissertation dealt with non-symmetric extensions of the general theory of relativity and quantum field theory in curved space-times. I received my PhD in 2008 in the same city, from the Department of Physics at Federal University of São Carlos. My thesis was developed in the field of open quantum systems and the dynamical Casimir effect. After this, I moved to the Centre for Natural and Human Sciences at Federal University of ABC, in the city of Santo André (SP, Brazil), as a postdoctoral researcher. I spent four years studying quantum information theory, specially its links with the foundations of quantum mechanics, relativity and thermodynamics both theoretically and experimentally. Since the end of 2012, I hold a permanent position at the Institute of Physics of Federal University of Goiás, in the city of Goiânia (GO, Brazil), being a group leader at the Quantum Optics and Information group. My main duties are teaching (undergraduate and graduate), supervision of graduate students and to pursue research. I am also a Visiting Professor at the University of Basque Country, Spain.
