About Me

I'm a physicist with a Master's degree in Astronomy from USP, experienced in scientific data analysis using Python and SQL. Currently working on Data Science projects, focusing on:

As a hobby, I create automated bots that publish content on social media, including astronomical images (NASA APOD), weather data, and pet photos.

Scientific Research

Research at USP

Undergraduate and Master's research projects developed at the University of São Paulo (USP) in the fields of Nuclear Physics and Astronomy.

Triangulum-Andromeda Overdensity (TriAnd)

Detailed chemodynamical analysis of 31 stars using high-resolution spectroscopy (Gemini/GRACES), revealing the mixed nature of TriAnd between in situ and accreted stars, published in ApJ.

Chemical Clocks in Giant Stars

Study on the validity of [Y/X] abundance ratios as spectroscopic age indicators in open cluster giants, published in MNRAS.

Durolon® as a Nuclear Detector

Characterization of the Durolon® polymer for alpha particle track detection using optical, Raman, and UV-vis techniques, published in Radiation Measurements

Featured Projects

COVID-19 in Brazil

Real-time and historical data analysis projects on COVID-19.

Real-time COVID-19 Monitoring

Automated system that collects, processes, and visualizes daily updated data from the World Health Organization about the pandemic in Brazil. The pipeline includes:

  • Automatic data collection from WHO
  • Processing with Python (Pandas, Matplotlib)
  • Interactive trend visualization
  • Comparison with historical data

Historical Analysis of COVID-19 in Brazil

Comprehensive study of the pandemic's evolution in Brazil, with data from 2020 to 2023. The project includes:

  • Temporal analysis of cases and deaths
  • Comparison between Brazilian states
  • Fatality rate calculation
  • Pattern and trend visualization

Automated Bots

Social Media Bots

Collection of bots that publish automated content across multiple platforms, integrating different APIs and using advanced data/image processing techniques.

Astronomy Picture of the Day

Automatically publishes NASA's APOD every day on Instagram, Twitter, and Bluesky, with translation of the explanation.

PetBots – Cats and Dogs

Bots that post cute pet images with creative AI-generated captions and interact with the pet-loving community.

Botoronga – Weather Monitor

Bot that collects weather data, generates temperature graphs for São Paulo, and interacts with weather-related posts.

Games

MMORPGs and More

Information about my favorite games, using official APIs to fetch live data and present it in game-inspired interfaces.

World of Warcraft

My characters in World of Warcraft, with real-time data obtained through Blizzard's API. The project includes:

  • Battle.net API integration
  • Character and gear visualization
  • Detailed stats per character
  • Custom interface design
