After years in semi-professional theatre, I went to the University of São Paulo for a degree in architecture and urban planning in 19904. After graduation I went to Slovenia for a stage at the Slovenian Institute of Urbanism in 19965. After Slovenia, I studied at the Institut Français d’Urbanisme at Marne-la-Vallee for one semester6. I entered the Masters in Spatial Planning at the University of São Paulo7. In 2000, I earned a scholarship to study at TU Delft for one year, as part of my masters. I went back to Brazil and defended my Masters thesis in 20028. In 2003, I went back to the Netherlands for my PhD. I completed my doctoral research in 20089. I have been working as an assistant professor at the Chair of Spatial Planning and Strategy of the TU Delft since 200710.

Knowledge is active engagement with the object to be known. This means that you need to ‘work’ in order to know: to study, to research, to design, to discuss and to communicate.
