"Logic is the beginning of wisdom, not the end." ― Mr. Spock

hi! welcome to my homepage

I’m an undergraduate student in Philosophy at UFSC with a bachelor’s degree in Mathematics.

Regarding my research interests, they mainly center around Logic, Philosophy of Science and Physics.

In general, I’m interested in (how to) address some philosophical problems, and scientific problems with foundational taste, employing both philosophical methods and logical methods (or, more broadly, mathematical methods). This approach is sometimes referred to as Mathematical Philosophy.

Specifically, I’m studying logical foundations of scientific theories under Prof. Jonas Becker Arenhart’s supervision and Stone-type dualities under Prof. Luiz Cordeiro’s supervision.

When time permits, I blog about these things at Fundamentae.

Research interests

My research interests lie in the following topics:

  • Foundations of Physics: logical/philosophical investigations of physical theories;
  • Philosophy of Science: syntax-semantics debate, equivalence of scientific theories;
  • Operator Algebras: C*-algebras, mathematical foundations of Quantum Mechanics;
  • Dualities: Stone-type dualities and other bridges between Algebra and Geometry;

Short CV

My education trajectory until now is:

  • B.A. in Philosophy, UFSC (2024-current)
    • Emphasis in Philosophical Logic and Philosophy of Science.
  • B.Sc. in Mathematics, UFSC (2018-2023)
    • Emphasis in Mathematical Logic and Mathematical Physics.
    • Final project: “Dualidade de Stone: uma odisseia lógico-matemática”.
    • Supervisors: Prof. Luiz G. Cordeiro, Prof. Jonas R. Becker Arenhart.
    • Completed the PAM honors program.
