Professor at the Department of Biosystems Engineering at FZEA-USP, specializing in sustainable materials and CO₂ sequestration. His research focuses on innovative solutions for sustainable construction, circular economy, ECODESIGN, and Life Cycle Assessment (LCA). He works on the development of special concretes and microstructures, aiming to reduce environmental impact. His projects align with the UN’s SDGs, particularly SDG 9 (Industry, Innovation, and Infrastructure), SDG 12 (Responsible Consumption and Production), and SDG 13 (Climate Action), promoting technological solutions for sustainability. Currently, two international cooperation projects in circular economy are being developed in partnership with institutions from Brazil, Canada, France, the USA, Guadeloupe, and Jamaica. The first, "Increasing local preparedness to Sargassum tides", is a collaboration between FZEA/USP, Univ. Miami, and Univ. Vitória, focusing on adaptation to massive Sargassum landings in the Caribbean and the Amazon. It aims to establish a management framework integrating monitoring, biomass valorization, and support for local blue economies. The second, "Holistic approach of Sargassum valorization", involves FZEA/USP, Univ. Antilles, Univ. Toulouse, and Univ. West Indies, exploring innovative methods to utilize Sargassum in construction materials, filtration, phytostimulants, and high-value-added compounds, fostering environmental and economic solutions to this pressing issue.
