About Me

Hi, I’m Tomás! I’m an Economics undergraduate at the University of São Paulo (USP) and a Research Assistant at the Centre for the Governance of AI. My research interests lie at the intersection of economics, artificial intelligence, and public policy.

I aim to contribute to our understanding of how AI technologies reshape economic systems and labor markets. Check out my CV for more details about me.

Current Work

At the Centre for the Governance of AI, I work with Sam Manning on AI-induced job displacement in the US, and will join their Summer Fellowship in London.

My contributions include a co-authored upcoming chapter for the NBER’s Economics of Transformative AI volume and participating in a large-scale collaboration on AI for science reproducibility under review at Nature.

I’ve also been working on projects related to opinion dynamics in social networks, building on my past work at the Brazilian startup Palver.

Background

My previous research experience as RA/intern spans economic history, industrial organization, and quantitative finance. I’m an International Economics Olympiad medalist and former team leader for Brazil’s world champion team. I’ve been selected for Stanford University’s Economics of Transformative AI summer course.

I work with Python and R, applying data science frameworks to economic research.
