Personal profile

Research interests

My main research interests include empirical legal studies, public interest litigation, and comparative approaches. As a postdoctoral researcher in the Department of Private, Business, and Labour Law (PBLL) at Tilburg Law School, I collaborate on an interdisciplinary project examining methods of judicial lawmaking and their implications for the legitimacy of decision-making in cases involving public interest across four jurisdictions: the Netherlands, India, South Africa, and the United States.

Career

During my doctoral studies at the Public Law & Governance Department (PLG) at Tilburg University, I investigated the scientific dimension of lawsuits challenging systemic failures by governments in mitigating GHG emissions and addressing the climate crisis. In particular, I analysed, using both empirical and legal methods, how courts across 14 jurisdictions assessed the complexity, uncertainty, and reliability of evidence related to appropriate GHG mitigation, as well as how judicial references to this evidence were associated with favourable rulings for petitioners, including orders mandating stricter GHG reductions. I completed my master's in International Technology Law at VU Amsterdam (cum laude). I previously worked as a researcher at the Netherlands Institute for the Study of Crime and Law Enforcement (NSCR), where I conducted field studies on public health measures. I also have experience as a consumer rights lawyer and as a public servant at the Brazilian Federal Tax Office.
