I'm currently committed to the following projects:

We develop a broad range of initiatives, such as organizing lectures, symposiums, and publishing projects and, more recently, a Bilbliography of Cybersecurity in LatAm. (Check it out at https://latamcyber.net/initiatives/reading-latin-america)

Year-End Spending Spikes (YESS) is a phenomena identified in various countries across the globe. It consists in a standard in speding in government budget, mainly documented in Federal budget in countries such as USA, UK, Canada, France, Germany and, more recently, in Brazil. I take part of a research group with Dr Cooperman (Austin Univ) and Dr Lizandro (FGV) in order to research this topic. We recently got two papers accepted in REPAL (https://repal.lasaweb.org/ - Washington University, 2024) and APSA (https://apsanet.org/ - Pensylvania Annual Meeting 2024).

Cyber Protection Module -  I was awarded the Brazilian Army Innovation Agency (AGITEC) prize in 2022 for the second most significant innovation in the Army.  The module (a.k.a MPC) was responsible for significantly improvements of Cyber Capabilities of MIlitary Units in Tactical Level with impact in all military regional commands in Brazil, having being responsible of receveing a budget of about 2 millions reais for implementation along the years of 2021, 2022 and 2023.
