Biography
I hold a PhD (2013) and an MSc (2008) in Ecology of Terrestrial and Aquatic Ecosystems from the University of São Paulo, and a Bachelor’s degree in Biological Sciences from Universidade Presbiteriana Mackenzie (2000). I am currently a visiting professor at the Federal University of Alfenas (ICT – Poços de Caldas). Previously, I was a visiting professor at the Graduate Program in Ecology and Natural Resource Management at the Federal University of Acre (2019–2021) and a substitute professor in the Ecology program at UNESP, Rio Claro Campus (2021–2022). I completed postdoctoral fellowships at São Paulo State University – ICT Sorocaba, in Environmental Sciences (2013–2018 and 2022–2023) and in Chemical, Physical, and Geological Oceanography at the Oceanographic Institute, University of São Paulo (2019–2024, fellowship in 2022).
