About my research
Since my undergraduate studies, I have been engaged with the issue of energy economics, with a particular focus on the Brazilian context. During my master's program at the Federal University of Rio Grande do Sul, I delved into Veblenian institutionalism. Subsequently, in the EPOG+ program, my focus shifted towards studying social capital. During an internship in France, I found myself revisiting energy-related issues, particularly in the realms of energy transactions and the history of economic thought. Currently, I am actively seeking to explore how the issue of energy has been framed throughout history.
