CNPq Research Productivity Fellow — Level 2 Partial Differential Equations Variational Methods

About

I am an Associate Professor in the Department of Mathematics at the Federal University of Paraíba, Brazil, and a CNPq Research Productivity Fellow, Level 2. My research focuses on nonlinear elliptic partial differential equations, with emphasis on variational methods, critical growth, eigenvalue problems, Ambrosetti-Prodi type problems, Trudinger-Moser inequalities, and Hamiltonian systems.

I received my Ph.D. in Mathematics from the University of Campinas in 2010. I also hold an M.Sc. in Mathematics from the Federal University of Paraíba. In 2025–2026 I was a postdoctoral visitor at Florida Institute of Technology.

Research interests

Nonlinear elliptic PDEs

Variational methods for semilinear and quasilinear elliptic problems, including p-Laplacian type operators and Hamiltonian systems.

Critical growth

Critical Sobolev growth, Trudinger-Moser nonlinearities, exponential critical growth, and loss of compactness phenomena.

Weighted and singular problems

Hénon type equations, singular nonlinearities, weighted embeddings, and Caffarelli-Kohn-Nirenberg type inequalities.

Critical point theory

Mountain pass methods, linking structures, eigenvalue problems, resonance, and cohomological index techniques.
