Postdoctoral Researcher in Atmospheric Science

Postdoctoral researcher with a background in Environmental Engineering and a Ph.D. in Meteorology (IAG-USP). My work focuses on atmospheric emissions, air quality modeling, and the impacts of air pollution on human health.

I have experience in developing bottom-up emission inventories, numerical modeling (WRF-Chem, CMAQ), and statistical analysis of environmental and epidemiological data.

Here are some of the technologies and languages ​​I use regularly:

• Air Quality Modeling
• Atmospheric Emissions (industrial and vehicular sources)
• Emission Inventories (bottom-up approaches)
• Climate and Air Pollution Interactions
• Environmental Epidemiology (PM2.5, O3 and health outcomes)

• Programming: Python, R
• Modeling Systems: WRF, WRF-Chem, CMAQ, AERMOD
• Data Handling: NetCDF, NCO, CDO
• Geospatial Analysis: GIS, spatial data processing
• Statistical Modeling: regression models, time series analysis

• Development of emission inventories in Brazil
• Air quality modeling using WRF-Chem and CMAQ
• Source apportionment using PMF
• Assessment of air pollution impacts on human health
