Pedro Cintra

Ph.D. Student in Environmental Social Sciences, admitted Autumn 2025
Trained as a physicist until my MSc, in which I worked with neutrino detection of core collapse supernovae, I recently switched fields to apply mathematical and computational models to ecological and social systems :)

On the ecological side, I like working with individual based models for cooperation and foraging strategies from an evolutionary perspective. On the social side, I am currently interested in the evolution of cultural values on groups of humans and polarization of opinions on networks of contacts.

Education

MSc, University of Campinas, Astroparticle physics (2023)
