I am a forestry research and operations leader specializing in plantation forestry, forest productivity, and data-driven decision-making. Currently, I coordinate field-based research through the Plantation Management Research Cooperative (PMRC) at the University of Georgia, supporting industry partners across the southeastern United States with growth and yield modeling, silviculture, and operational forestry strategies. My work integrates ecophysiology, large-scale experimentation, and quantitative modeling to better understand how climate, genetics, and management influence forest productivity. With experience in both Brazil and the United States, I bring a global perspective on sustainable forest management, climate adaptation, and applied forestry research.
