The ICTP South American Institute for Fundamental Research is a leading institution of theoretical physics in Brazil. Since 2020, I have collaborated with Prof. Rogério Rosenfeld on DES-related science.

Such excellent collaboration allowed me to mentor two strong and dedicated Ph.D. students: João Rebouças and Diogo Henrique (now a postdoc at JPL). Applying to ICTP-SAIFR and working with Prof. Rosenfeld is the best path to collaborate with me without leaving Brazil. Such collaboration can include long-term visits to SBU (via FAPESP-BEPE).
