I research the commercial market for offensive cyber capabilities and spyware, and how its regulation is shaped.

I am an MA student in International Security at Sciences Po Paris. My work looks at the role of private actors (vendors, intermediaries) in international processes, with Brazil and Latin America as a case. It continues my BA thesis at PUC-Rio on the Pegasus spyware.

This site collects my current research, a blog on work in progress, and my research outputs.
