I am a dedicated Data Scientist and Political Scientist with a robust academic and professional background. Currently, I am pursuing a Ph.D. in Political Science at the Institute of Social and Political Studies (IESP) at the State University of Rio de Janeiro (UERJ). My research focuses on Electoral Authoritarianism, guided by Professor Fernando Henrique Eduardo Guarnieri. I hold a Master’s degree in Political Science from the same institution, where I explored the impacts of electoral reforms in contemporary Russia.
