The Ph.D. included a CAPES PDSE internship at the "Urban Form Lab" at the University of Washington, USA, under the supervision of Anne Vernez-Moudon.
As a visiting researcher ("post-doc"), he studied Healthy Urban Mobility in 2018 at Oxford Brookes University, invited by the "Global Challenges Research Fund," and in 2022 at Universität Hamburg, invited by the "COVIDGI" Project, funded by the Volkswagen Foundation.
At UFRGS, he is part of the Research and Outreach Group "Urban Health, Environment, and Inequalities" and have worked at the "NTU - Urban Technology Center" and the "Nuitran - Interdisciplinary Center for Urban Traffic Studies."
From 2016 to 2019, he was the PI in Porto Alegre for the international project "HUM/MUS - Healthy Urban Mobility," funded by the British ESRC and BR CONFAP.
Together with Vinícius Netto and Renato Saboya, they were editors of the "RMU - Journal of Urban Morphology," a journal of the "PNUM - Portuguese Network of Urban Morphology."
Spatial analysis, GIS (Geographic Information Systems), and statistics spaecialist, his research involves mixed methods and multidisciplinary approaches in the field of "Urban Health", with a focus on the relationship between urban mobility and epidemiological indicators.
He is the PI of the "ACTIVE MOBILITY, HEALTH, AND WELL-BEING: MULTISCALAR ANALYSIS OF WALKABILITY IN BRAZILIAN CITIES" research project funded by CNPQ (National Council for Scientific and Technological Development), associated with the "1,000 Cities Challenge" of the "Global Observatory of Healthy and Sustainable Cities".
He is also associated researcher in the "SOCIAL INEQUALITIES, FOOD ENVIRONMENT, NUTRITIONAL STATUS, AND NON-COMMUNICABLE CHRONIC DISEASES IN RIO GRANDE DO SUL: A GEO-SPATIAL ECOLOGICAL ANALYSIS" project, coordinated by Prof. Raquel Canuto (PPGANS/UFRGS), funded by FAPERGS (Foundation for Support of Research in the State of Rio Grande do Sul), and associated with the "Brazilian Network of Research in Food Environments."
