| What you did the summer after graduation |
I left EA after middle-school graduation, and lived in the USA until 1983, when I returned to Rio. After Segundo Grau (Colegio Rio de Janeiro) I got a degree in Biologia at Universidade Santa Ursula (1991). In 1992 came to New York (American Museum of Natural History) for a doctorate in Biology (evolutionary biology, systematics of fishes). Finished PhD in 1999. I do research on the systematics and evolution of sharks, rays and skates, and continue at the American Museum of Natural History as a postdoctoral researcher. In 1998 I married Mary Andriani of New York. |
