Profile
Brazilian born, Sydney based — building bridges between science, performance, and public culture.
WELI is the facilitator and creative behind the room. A behavioural ecologist (PhD ANU, School of Ecology & Evolution) with research on kangaroo personality and group decision-making, he designs activations, workshops, and programs that pair scientific rigour with movement, music, and storytelling — so corporate teams, university cohorts, school groups, and creative collaborators leave energised, connected, and reflective.
The same lens powers WildWooHoo, his creative studio, where research becomes culture through music videos, film, and public moments. The flagship project, Kangaroo Time, won the 2024 Dance Your PhD competition and screened globally.
