I am an Assistant Professor of Political Science at the Federal University of Minas Gerais (UFMG) and a researcher at the Center for Legislative Studies (CEL) and the Brazilian Center for Analysis and Planning (CEBRAP). My research focuses on how institutions shape political behavior—and how political behavior, in turn, reshapes institutions. I use a range of quantitative methods to study legislative politics and critical moments in Brazilian and Latin American democracies.
