Leonardo is currently a Research Fellow (Level B) at the University of Western Australia. He is responsible for the research program "Navigating tipping points in complex dynamical systems". This project expects to generate innovative techniques from complex systems theory and dynamical systems theory to identify tipping points and apply these techniques to understand real-world systems. Working with clinicians and practising engineers, the project aims to contribute to the development of new treatment regimes for dynamical diseases and develop improved management strategies for resource-focused engineering industries. This should provide significant benefit to many areas, including the personalized treatment of disease.

Before arriving in Australia, Leonardo grew up in Minas Gerais, Brazil, where he completed his BSc (Physics), MSc (Theoretical Physics) and PhD (Sports Science) in the Universidade Federal de Minas Gerais (UFMG). After that, he was a Postdoctoral Researcher in two projects at the UFMG's Engineering School, working with nonlinear time series analysis for the characterization of chaotic phase synchronization in networks. He is a Fencing Master certified by the International Academie of Armes and was the fencing coach and founder of the MG Fencing Association and the fencing club Fencing Academy of MG.
