PhD Candidate
Fenner School of Environment and Society
Vitor is a PhD student at the Fenner School of Environment and Society at the Australian National University (ANU).
His research focuses on developing models of socio-ecological systems. By taking an interdisciplinary approach, he integrates computational and mathematical tools with social and biological knowledge to address environmental challenges.
In his PhD, Vitor is developing the concept of resilience as pathway diversity to operationalize resilience and support decision-making in water management.
Before joining ANU, he earned a Bachelor’s degree in Physics and a Master’s degree in Complex Systems Modeling from the University of São Paulo, Brazil.
Research interests
Vitor is interested in using complex systems tools to analyze socio-ecological problems.
He has worked with agricultural, forestry, and water systems, employing dynamic systems models, agent-based modeling, evolutionary game theory, and social network analysis.
His current focus is on measuring resilience in water management contexts, particularly how human decision-making, from local farmers to national policymakers, affects the overall resilience of water systems.
