I am an agronomist specialized in tropical pastures and forages, and I recently completed a master’s degree in plant physiology. I have professional experience in the private sector as an agronomist, as well as research experience as a postgraduate student and research assistant, working on projects involving several tropical crops. My academic and professional interests are centered on understanding plant physiology under abiotic stress conditions, particularly drought, flooding, and salinity. I am highly motivated by research that explores how plants adapt to challenging environments and how this knowledge can be applied to improve crop productivity and resilience.
