My Path to Become a Professor (University) I started at University in 2009. At the time I pursed a bachelor degree in Mathematics. My dream was to teach maths at school as it was the only subject I was good at. After my first semester I fell in love with all subjects I took, such as Calculus, Linear Algebra, Geometry and so on. So I applied for my first position at the university becoming a Calculus tutor. I had a great time teaching at the university. Learning from other students is outstanding. Meanwhile I got a scholarship to start doing research in Partial Differential Equations. During my third year I had some doubts about my carrear, but life looked very promising so I decided to stick to it. In the forth year I was invited to join a master program in mathematics. That freaked me out as I was up to my neck in work how could I possibly embrace more work? However I decided to give it a go, and that year became the busiest of all my life so far. I embraced the challenge and finished my masters two years later in the field of Partial Differential Equations. In 2014 I started my PhD in Applied Mathematics in Brazil and an year later I got a scholarship to study in the UK. I defended my PhD thesis on February 2018, and right after I started my postdoctoral fellowship. More changes are yet to come since I'm taking up a Professor position at an university in September 2018.
