About me
I was born in Italy and raised in Brazil, in the paradisiac Island of Santa Catarina. Son of two worlds, I follow two paths at the same time: science and literature.
In science, I obtained a bachelor’s degree in biological sciences at the Federal University of Santa Catarina (Florianopolis, SC, Brazil), and a master’s degree in plant physiology at the Federal University of Pelotas (Pelotas, RS, Brazil). I'm currently doing my PhD at the University of Reading (Reading, UK).
I study the cognitive capacities of organisms without neurons, particularly plants, fungi, and their symbioses, to understand how they perceive, interact, and survive in the environment.
Besides, I dedicate myself to literature. After all, science and fantasy are almost the same, aren’t they? From the time being, I have published a book of short stories which addresses the folklore of Southern Brazil: Fifteen Hexes.
And what else comes ahead...?
