School of Economics

After graduating from Georgia Tech, Celso started his career working at the Institute of Applied Economics and Research in Brasilia, Brazil.  He worked on a project to build economic series while also teaching evening economics classes at local colleges.  Deciding to pursue a Ph.D. in Economics, Celso was accepted to both of the two universities where he applied, but chose to attend the higher ranked University of Brasilia, one of the top ten universities in Brazil.
