Biography

Full Professor at the Institute of Geosciences (IG) of the University of Brasília (UnB), where he contributes to the education of undergraduate students in Geophysics and Geology, in addition to mentoring and teaching in the Graduate Program in Geology. With a solid academic background that includes a degree in Physics from UFMT (2000), a Master's (2003) and a Ph.D. (2008) in Sciences (Geophysics) from USP—the latter including an internship in Barcelona, Spain—he combines academic experience with practical application, having worked as a quality control geophysicist and coordinator at the Georadar Company (2007-2009). His leadership is also evident in administrative roles, serving as Head of the UnB Seismological Observatory (2018-2022) and, currently, as the Coordinator of Research and Innovation for the IG/UnB (since 2023). His expertise in Geosciences is centered on Geophysics, with a special emphasis on Seismology and Seismic methods.
