I am a Brazilian freshwater researcher enthusiastic about modeling, data science and water quality management. I hold a Ph.D. in Hydraulic Engineering and Sanitation. I also hold an M.S. in Environmental Technology and Water Resources, and B.S. in Environmental Engineering. During my Ph.D. I began ongoing collaborations on international projects with the Global Lake Observatory Network (GLEON) and the Aquatic Ecosystem Modeling Network Junior (AEMON-J) working in diverse and interdisciplinary teams. I´m also interested in Science Communication and Open Science initiatives. I’m one of the co-organizers of the Hacking Limnology Workshop and Virtual Summit: Incorporating Data Science and Open Science in the Aquatic Sciences.
