He is currently a professor at Sao Paulo Law School and Coordinator of NEF/FGV, where he develops two research lines: (1) Our Tax Reform; and (2) Macrovision of Tax Credit, and the studies  are divided in seven working groups (GTs): GT1- Transparency and Fiscal Citizenship in the 21st century; GT2 - Taxation on Consumption (VAT) in the 21st century; GT3 - Taxation on Payroll, Income, and Assets in the 21st century; GT4 - Taxation, Justice, Diversity, Solidarity, 3rd Sector, and Environment in the 21st century; GT5 - National Tax Code in the 21st century; GT6 - Administrative Proceedings, Judicial, and Fiscal Enforcement in the 21st century; and GT7 - Competitiveness and International Taxation in the 21st century.
In 2021, NEF/FGV received the  status of a Study Center, which is a research unit with  greater size and independence than a Study Nucleus.
The activities of NEF/FGV bring together professors and researchers from all programs of Sao Paulo Law School, with each GT having an Academic in charge (always a full-time professor linked to FGV) and an Executive in charge (preferably a student or a researcher of the Graduate Program).
The research carried out at NEF/FGV is also in synergy with the guidelines of undergraduate and graduate courses, and classroom activities, especially in the Elective, Immersion, and Legal Practice Clinics at FGV Sao Paulo Law School.
