A few years ago I set out on my personal project to become a PhD. Now, with the
maturity that only comes with time, I realize that I had only a slight idea of what
that really meant. Fortunately, I was not alone in this endeavor. During this journey I
had the support of many awesome people that, in one way or another, helped me
face the personal and professional barriers brought forth by a task of this magnitude.
Without their support this project would not have been made possible.
Firstly, I would like to thank my advisors Alfredo Goldman vel Lejbman and
Jean-François Méhaut. The innumerable discussions we had both during my stay in
BrazilaswellasinFranceshowedmethatsometimesitisnecessarytotaketwosteps
back before we can take one step forward. With them I learned that solutions come
naturally (sometimes unexpectedly) to those who are looking for them. I also would
like to thank them for providing all the support I needed to develop and publish the
research contained in this thesis as well as giving me the opportunity to get in touch
with several international researchers.
Secondly, I would like to thank my laboratory colleagues in Brazil (Nelson Lago,
YanikNgoko,MarcosMarquitoAmaris,ThiagoFurtado,PauloMoura,LeonardoLeite,
Felipe Besson, Guilherme Nogueira, Wesley Seidel and Carlos Eduardo Santos) and
in France (Vinicius Pinheiro, Cristian Sanabria, Augustin Degomme, Luka Stanisic,
Brice Videau, Gabriel Duarte, Christophe Laferrière, Rodrigue Chakode and Thomas
Nguélé). Your company and the great discussions we had made this period of my life
memorable.
Finally, I would like to thank all my family. Specially my wife, Patricia. You stood
there for me when I needed you the most. I would also like to thank my parents,
Sueli and Fernando, and my siblings Fernanda and Felipe. Thanks for believing in
me during all my life. I love you all.
