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 (Environmental Sciences, Biology and Pharmacological Sciences). My research interests are related to remote sensing of clouds, and the study of air pollution.
Remote Sensing of clouds:
Air Polllution
Statistics applied to environmental data
