Bachelor in Physics at Universidade de São Paulo (1975) and PhD in Physics (particles and fields) at Universidade de São Paulo (1977). Has experience in the following subjects: gravitation, qcd, black holes, dark energy and dark matter, integrable models, classical general relativity, and perturbations there of, Dark Energy and Dark Mattes, Black Holes and holography. Received the Weisskopf prize from the Abdus Salam Institute, Trieste, in 1992. Advised 29 PhD students, 30 MsC and 20 post docs. Acquired around 7900 citations according to google scholar. Is the PI of the BINGO Radio-Telescope, that is being built to measure Baryonic Acoustic Oscillations through the 21 cm line and other astrophysical objects, mainly Fast Radio Bursts (Source: Lattes Curriculum)

BINGO is a unique radio telescope designed to make the first detection of Baryon Acoustic Oscillations (BAO) at radio frequencies. This will be achieved by measuring the distribution of neutral hydrogen gas at cosmological distances using a technique called Intensity Mapping. Along with the Cosmic Microwave Background anisotropies, the scale of BAO is one of the most powerful probes of co…
The present project aims to nd possible sources of instabilities in theories with non-minimal derivative couplings (NMDC), that can give us a new insight of inationary models. Scalar-tensor theories are non-trivial extensions of the Einstein gravity giving interesting modications to the standard theory in both small and large distances. We will consider a gravity theory which includes a t…
We intend to perform the calibration of the apparatus in order to arrive in the commissioning. Subsequently we will discuss the possibility of finding the fast ray bursts with the BINGO proposal. There will be three sets of lectures for training students of the project and we produce technical material for the astronomers and engineers. (AU)
In the last decade new observational and theoretical results have given a new impulse on the investigation of structural questions and phenomenological applications of general relativity. On one hand, cosmology is in a period where new data suggest new and challenging visions of the universe. In this context, new approaches are necessary to explain what is observed and also what is not di…

This project is contextualised in the pipeline of the BINGO (BAO from Integrated Neutral GasObservations) project, a radiotelescope being developed to detect the baryon acoustic oscillations (BAO) in the radio band, trough measurements of the distribution of neutral Hydrogen gas in cosmological scales. The candidate will perform an analysis of cosmological parameter estimation through the…
The study of galaxies provides knowledge about various aspects of the Universe that go beyond individual analysis for these objects. An important piece of information resides in its emitted radiation, which suffers change in the spectrum due mainly to the expansion of the Universe. Measuring this redshift of light is costly when done by spectroscopic approaches. However, the current proje…
Scientific dissemination has an important role in the development of a scientific culture, strengthening the relationship between scientific knowledge and its social role. This project aims to develop a scientific dissemination about the BINGO Telescope through scientific journalism, based on principles of a communication directed to build a scientific culture in cosmology. For this purpo…
HI intensity mapping (HI IM) is a new observational technique to survey the large-scale structure of the Universe using the 21 cm emission line of atomic hydrogen (HI). It can be used to constrain cosmological parameters, including the dark energy equation-of-state and the total mass of the neutrinos. This is exactly what the FAPESP-funded BAO from Integrated Neutral Gas Observations (BIN…

The cosmological observations indicate that the Universe is in an accelerated expansion phase. One possible simple explanation for that is a cosmological constant homogeneously and isotropically filling the entire space. However, this model suffers from serious theoretical problems and there is still room for other exotic explanations. The usual approach consists in writing down a Lagrang…
Our current understanding of the history of the universe, built over an increasing amount of data from accurate measurements such as the CMB and supernovae distances, tells us that we are most likely living in a homogeneous and isotropic universe which is undergoing a phase of accelerated expansion. The Lambda-CDM model, our best fit to observations so far, is far from being a complete m…
