My background is in Political Sociology and I am especially interested in the decision-making process about urban transportation and urban mobility in Brazil and Canada. Besides, I consider myself as easygoing, sociable, driven and responsible person.
WHY DID YOU CHOOSE TO COME TO SFU?
I came to SFU because this University has an open space to discuss scientifical issues from an interdisciplinary perspective, which is pivotal for pursuing research in the urban mobility field.
