Legal researcher at UFRGS studying the International Criminal Court through 29 judicial opinions and 223 doctrinal references.

At the Center for Law, Globalization and Development at UFRGS, I research International Criminal Law and international legal institutions, examining legal frameworks, judicial decisions, and academic literature.

For my undergraduate thesis, “Voices of the South or Echoes of the North? The International Criminal Court, Representation, and the Production of Legal Knowledge,” I analyzed 29 judicial opinions and 223 doctrinal references using Microsoft Excel.

At the Nuremberg Moot Court, I earned second place worldwide in the 2024 written phase and ranked among the top 18 teams in the 2025 oral rounds. I prepared written submissions and legal arguments based on international criminal law, statutory interpretation, case law, and legal authorities.

As an intern at the United Nations Office on Drugs and Crime (UNODC), I supported international cooperation projects involving environmental crime and institutional partnerships. I’m particularly interested in how generative AI can improve legal research, evaluate legal reasoning, and support accurate interpretation of legal sources.
