TEACHING
Since August 2010 I teach two 60-hours courses per semester (the weekly teaching hours are typically 8).
I have been teaching all the basic physics courses for undergraduates since Au- gust 2010. I regularly teach Cosmology and General Relativity to graduate students since 2014.
I also teach in the Distance Learning modality via a Moodle web-based platform. STUDENTS
SUPERVISION
I have completed supervisions of 6 BSc, 5 MSc, and 3 PhD students. I am currently supervising 1 PhD student (Leonardo Giani).
I contributed to the creation of the PPGCosmo (http://ppgcosmo.cosmo-ufes. org/) PhD program, in August 2016. This is a new PhD course which is based on the internationalisation of its students. Each of them is co-supervised by one of our international partners.
