About me

I hold a degree in Geology (2017) and a Ph.D. in Geosciences and Environment (2024) from São Paulo State University (UNESP). Shortly after graduating, in 2018, I began a specialization in 'Subsurface Investigation - Geotechnics and Environment' at the São Paulo Institute for Technological Research (IPT), where I also worked as a visiting researcher.

​

For 7 years, I was part of the Applied Geophysics group at IPT, engaging in research and development projects focused on the application of geophysical methods in engineering, mining, geotechnics, and environmental studies. My work involved collaboration with multidisciplinary teams from the Infrastructure Works Technology Center, specifically within the Geotechnics and Environmental Risk and Management sections. During this period, I was a junior researcher and scholarship recipient at the Foundation for Support to the São Paulo Institute for Technological Research (FIPT).

​

In 2020, I started my Ph.D. program at UNESP, focusing on the use of geophysical methods and structural analysis with photogrammetry to investigate fractured systems beneath dams, waste piles, and slopes in open-pit mines at South America’s first uranium mine, currently undergoing decommissioning. In 2023, my research was awarded a doctoral exchange scholarship from the National Council for Scientific and Technological Development (CNPq), allowing me to further develop my work within the Hydrologic Science and Engineering Program at Colorado School of Mines under the supervision of Prof. Dr. Kamini Singha.

​

Additionally, I was a doctoral fellow of the Coordination for the Improvement of Higher Education Personnel (Capes) and served as a teaching assistant in the Environmental Engineering program at UNESP-Rio Claro, teaching courses on "Environmental Geology," "Remote Sensing," and "Cartography and Geoprocessing."
