Professional Overview

Academic C.V. (PDF)


I am Associate Professor of Government at the Brazilian School of Public and Business Administration, Fundação Getulio Vargas (FGV-EBAPE) in Rio de Janeiro. I also founded and head FGV’s Public Transparency Program. 

I work on issues related to information governance, especially the measurement, determinants, politics, and impacts of transparency. My work also deals with issues of privacy (anonymity, surveillance), the news media, corruption, open government, and representation. Most of my students are federal public servants, many of whom have co-authored policy-relevant research with me.

At FGV-EBAPE, I intermittently teach four courses in four different tracks:

  • Comparative Qualitative Methods (academic-track MA and PhD)
  • Transparency and Information Governance (academic-track MA and PhD; Master’s in Management, and Professional-track Master’s of Public Administration)
  • Public Policy (Professional-track Master’s of Public Administration).
  • Information Governance (Undergraduate)

I am grateful for the opportunity to work with exceptional students, in an institution of excellence, alongside the best Government faculty in Brazil.
