I am a scientist dedicated to the sustainability of freshwater ecosystems, with expertise in eutrophication, mitigation of cyanobacterial blooms, and biogeochemical cycles. My research focuses on understanding and addressing the complex interactions that drive water quality deterioration and exploring strategies for ecosystem restoration and resilience. Currently, I am a Visiting Scholar in the Department of Ecology and Evolutionary Biology at Cornell University (USA, NY), where I collaborate with an interdisciplinary group seeking solutions for a sustainable future in diverse Brazilian biomes. My research aims to tackle contemporary environmental challenges, including global changes and the water-energy-food nexus, by integrating biogeochemical approaches, remote sensing, and ecological modeling. I am particularly interested in the role of nutrient dynamics in freshwater systems and how human activities influence these processes. By developing innovative tools for monitoring and managing water quality, I strive to contribute to the conservation and sustainable use of aquatic ecosystems in the face of environmental change.
