Biography

I am natural from a countryside city in São Paulo, Brazil. I graduated summa cum laude in Agronomic Engineering in 2018 and obtained my master's in Agronomy (Sustainable Energy Production) in 2020 from São Paulo State University (Unesp). I am a doctoral student at Unesp, specializing in Waste Science and Technology. I concentrate my thesis on converting agro-residual biomass to an eco-friendly antioxidant to control and optimize solid biofuel off-gassing. Nevertheless, I have been researching functional (bio)materials for (bio)waste processing, management, and valorization, renewable and sustainable (bio)energy generation, carbon capture, utilization, and storage (CCUS), and environmental (bio)remediation since my second semester as an undergraduate student in an educationally and technically balanced course of Agronomy with an emphasis on Biomass and Bioenergy. In addition, I am skillful in high-throughput analytical techniques (e.g., EDXRF, FTIR, SEM, and TGA/DSC) and high-performance statistical computing and modeling (e.g., multivariate data analytics through visualization). I am passionate about and inspired by developing transformative science for an equitable and thriving people and planet. My outstanding academic performance has been recognized with honors, awards, scholarships, and an exchange sponsorship. Equally significant, I enjoy being outdoors, exercising, playing acoustic guitar, and listening to relaxing songs in my free time.
