I am a researcher and PhD student in Soil Science at the Federal University of Santa Maria (UFSM), currently in my third semester. I hold a degree in Agronomy from UFFS, a master’s degree in Soil Science from UFSM, and a postgraduate specialization in Environmental and Industrial Microbiology from SBM. My research interests include soil biology, microbiology and biochemistry, plant–microorganism interactions, mycorrhizal symbioses, extracellular enzymes, soil health, and phytoremediation.
