is a psychoanalyst (M.A), currently based in Rome, and a PhD researcher at The Global Center for Advanced Studies (GCAS), investigating the epistemological conditions for a psychoanalytic clinic given the advanced developments of neuroscience. Based on Lacanian research, he investigates what psychoanalysis can offer and how it can justify its interventions.

He has published articles in Brazilian and Irish psychoanalytic journals, as well as two short political texts for a left-wing newspaper in Brazil. He also conducts a Lacanian seminar with colleagues from Brazil.

After Lacan, psychoanalysis gained the potential to subvert what is traditionally considered ‘natural”. Drawing from a structural and topological reading of Lacan, he explores how psychoanalysis can challenge prevailing notions of subjectivity by shifting from a logic of self-enclosed 3D individuals to one of “inmixing of otherness,” 2D surfaces, discourse, and speech. He is a Research Associate at Apertura Para Otro Lacan (APOLa) and a member of the Associazione Lacaniana Internazionale in Rome. Nicolas previously worked as a coordinator for Instituto Aus Ouvidos, an organization that provides cost-free psychoanalytically oriented services to communities across Brazil and Mozambique, where such services are often inaccessible.
