I am Professor of Federal University of Sao Paulo (UNIFESP) at Diadema (state of Sao Paulo, Brazil), working at the Laboratory of Climate and Air Pollution (LabCliP).

My background is in Physics, with a B.S. degree in Physics (1996), M.Sc. in Nuclear Physics (2000) and PhD in Physics (2005) - all obtained at the Physics Institute at University of Sao Paulo. I was a postdoctoral fellow at the National Institute for Research in Amazonia - INPA (2006-08) and at Atmospheric Science Department at University of Sao Paulo - DCA/IAG/USP (2008-2010).

Presently at UNIFESP I teach Statistics for undergrad courses (Pharmacological Sciences, Biology and Environmental Sciences) whereas during the last five year I had been strongly involved in lectures of basic Physics (theory and lab) an Calculus (undergrad level).

My current research has focus on the understanding of processes involving cloud formation, evolution and its relationship to climate system and how it might be changed by anthropogenic influences. My focus is specially dedicated to the Amazon Basin where I am lead of supported projects by federal agencies.
