Biography

PhD student at Instituto Nacional de Pesquisas da Amazônia (INPA-Brazil) and a member of Amazon Tall Tower Observatory (ATTO) project.
Currently working with leaf phenology and stomatal conductance of leaves from upper canopy trees. Our main goal is to investigate how sensitivity of stomata response to changes on environmental conditions and minimum stomatal conductance (both parameters from Ball-Berry's model) behaves throughout leaf aging process.
I have Master's Degree in Plant Biodiversity and Environment at Instituto de Botânica de São Paulo (2012 - 2014) with expertise in stomatal response to environmental conditions and modelling ozone uptake. Bachelor of Science in Biology at Centro Universitário São Camilo (2008 - 2011).
Interested in: stomatal conductance, leaf gas exchange, plant ecophysiology, modeling, climate change, effects of atmospheric pollution on plants and plant-atmosphere interactions.

In Portuguese:
Aluno de Doutorado pelo Instituto Nacional de Pesquisas da Amazônia (INPA) (2017 - Atual), vinculado ao Programa de Pós-Graduação em Ciências de Florestas Tropicais (CFT). Atualmente, venho desenvolvendo minha pesquisa de doutorado na área de ecofisiologia vegetal, estudando o comportamento de abertura e fechamento dos estômatos ao longo do envelhecimento foliar e em resposta a variação do déficit de pressão de vapor (DPV) em indivíduos árboreos pertencentes ao estrato do dossel superior. Sou mestre em "Biodiversidade Vegetal e Meio Ambiente" pelo Instituto de Botânica (SMA/SP) no Núcleo de Pesquisa em Ecologia (2012 - 2014). Graduado em Ciências Biológicas (Bacharelado e Licenciatura) pelo Centro Universitário São Camilo (2008 - 2011). Áreas de interesse: mudanças climáticas, efeitos da poluição atmosférica sobre plantas, interação planta-atmosfera, ecofisiologia vegetal, trocas gasosas e condutância estomática.
