Across different ways of thinking and acting.
Engineering, finance, management, education and philosophy belong to the same trajectory: understanding complex problems, forming judgment and deciding when reality offers no complete guarantees.
Professor, researcher, engineer and academic coordinator.
A trajectory that does not fit within a single discipline.
My education and professional work cross fields that are often treated separately. Over time, engineering, finance, management, education and philosophy came to function less as compartments and more as different perspectives on similar problems.
Across technical, academic and institutional environments, the same demand reappears: distinguish what can be calculated from what requires judgment; recognize limits without abandoning action; and revise decisions when experience changes the problem.
Different fields, questions that meet again.
The movements below are not closed stages. They overlap and continue to interact in my current work.
Engineering and problem structuring
Training in Production Engineering at UFRJ established a first discipline of thought: breaking problems down, working with constraints, data, and models, and recognizing that technical decisions also involve choices of criteria.
Energy, finance and management
Professional experience, including at Petrobras, brought engineering, energy, large projects, finance and management together in highly complex environments. Study at COPPEAD/UFRJ and the University of Porto deepened this dimension.
Education and the formation of judgment
At Fundação Getulio Vargas, academic coordination and teaching in graduate and executive programs made education a permanent field of work: developing the capacity for judgment, not merely transmitting content.
Philosophy and research
A master's degree in Philosophy at PUC-Rio and ongoing doctoral research at UFRJ brought skepticism, Montaigne, doubt, inquietude, experience, judgment, and action to the center of the inquiry. Academic periods in Paris and Montpellier broadened that path.
Development, climate, and reparation
At BNDES, work on issues related to extreme climate events and the Rio Doce Fund once again brings together analysis, coordination, finance, development and decision-making under uncertainty and long-term impact.
Two contexts, the same demand for responsibility.
Three traditions of education.
Interdisciplinarity here is not a label. It results from distinct forms of education that continue to shape how I read problems and build questions.
Structure, systems and decision
Production Engineering at UFRJ and a master's degree in Industrial Engineering and Management from the University of Porto.
Organizations, capital and development
Master’s degree in Business Administration and specialization in Energy Economics and Management at COPPEAD/UFRJ.
Experience, judgment and action
Master's degree in Philosophy at PUC-Rio and ongoing doctorate in Philosophy at UFRJ, with academic periods at Université Paris 1 Panthéon-Sorbonne and Université Paul-Valéry Montpellier 3.
Not eliminating uncertainty, but learning to work with it.
Looking back, what connects these fields is not a single discipline but a set of problems: how to interpret complex situations, how to form judgment, how to decide with incomplete information, and how to remain open to revision without turning doubt into paralysis.
That is the unity that now brings my philosophical research, professional work and education together.

Research, education and professional work are different paths of the same concern with judgment, decision and experience.
