I am a biologist, with a DPhil in Geography and the Environment from Oxford University (2006-2011) and a Postdoc from the Environmental Change Institute (ECI) at the University of Oxford (2011-2014).  From 2014 to 2025 I was a researcher at the National Center for Monitoring and Early Warning of Natural Disasters (CEMADEN) in Brazil. Since Septermber 2025, I started as a scientist at the National Institute for Space Research (INPE,  Brazil) and am a Professor in the Post-grad program on Remote Sensing there. I co-lead the Tropical Ecosystems and Environmental Science Group (TREES) at INPE. I am interested in advancing the knowledge and the monitoring of the risks and impacts of climate extremes in Amazonia, their dynamics and interrelations with changes in the environment and society.
