Gustavo received his BSc and MSc in 2022 and 2024, respectively, in Electrical Engineering from the Federal University of Espírito Santo (UFES). He worked on artificial neural networks for modelling soliton propagation in nonlinear fibres before joining LUPO as a PhD Student in 2024. His project is focused on exploring nonlinear optics driven by intense laser pulses in the vacuum ultraviolet.
