Subsequently Raphael joined the UN Department of Peacekeeping Operations where he led units focused on information management and human rights violations, and addressed administrative and mission-related issues. Most recently, Raphael worked at the UN Resident and Humanitarian Coordination Office in Cameroon.
With a Bachelor in Physiotherapy from Brazil, and a MSc with honors in Social and Cultural Anthropology from Katholieke Universiteit Leuven, Raphael entered the Doctoral Program in Health Policy and Equity at York University in 2019. His interests revolve around the global health impact of recent patterns of consumption, networking and communication. He plans to focus his research on multisectoral governance approaches to emerging global health challenges.
