I am an Associate Researcher at the Earth System Numerical Modeling Division of the National Institute for Space Research (INPE), Brazil, and a member of the Surface Processes Group. I hold a B.Sc. and a Ph.D. in Meteorology from the Federal University of Santa Maria (UFSM), as well as an M.Sc. in Physical Oceanography from the University of São Paulo (USP). My academic career has focused on ocean-atmosphere interactions, air-sea turbulent fluxes, and Earth system modeling. During my master's research, I investigated the thermohaline structure and water masses around the Antarctic Peninsula using in situ observations. My doctoral research examined heat and momentum exchanges in the southwestern South Atlantic based on observational datasets. I have completed four postdoctoral fellowships and currently serve as an advisor in the Graduate Program in Remote Sensing. My research is dedicated to the estimation and evaluation of turbulent fluxes of heat, momentum, and CO₂ at the ocean-atmosphere interface, contributing to the development and improvement of surface parameterizations in numerical weather and climate models. I have extensive experience in meteorological and oceanographic instrumentation, remote sensing, field campaigns, and Antarctic expeditions. I am the author and co-author of numerous peer-reviewed scientific publications and actively collaborate with national and international research initiatives in atmospheric and ocean sciences.
