I am a postdoctoral researcher at the Husserl Archives: Centre for Phenomenology and Continental Philosophy at KU Leuven, supported by the Marie Skłodowska-Curie Actions programme.
I studied philosophy and law in Belo Horizonte, Rio de Janeiro, Jena, and Freiburg. I received my PhD in Philosophy from Rio de Janeiro State University in 2020 with a dissertation on the concept of possibility in Martin Heidegger. Before returning to Leuven, I held postdoctoral fellowships at the University of Wuppertal and the University of Fribourg.
My current work brings phenomenology into dialogue with cultural anthropology, particularly with the so-called ontological turn. I investigate how people who share environments can nevertheless develop profoundly different ways of perceiving, feeling, and acting—and what these differences mean for philosophical accounts of experience and world.
I am particularly interested in whether phenomenology can acknowledge the plurality of ontologies and cosmologies without dissolving the common world into isolated perspectives. This question requires rethinking the relation between universality and situatedness, nature and culture, embodiment and social institution.
My broader research engages Edmund Husserl, Martin Heidegger, Eugen Fink, Maurice Merleau-Ponty, and Jacques Derrida, as well as classical German philosophy, hermeneutics, metaphysics, epistemology, and the philosophy of the social sciences.
