Mini-curriculum

Senior researcher of Embrapa (Brazilian agricultural research company) where has been working within activities at Embrapa Environment, located at Jaguariúna city - São Paulo State/Brazil. Since 1989 has been acting on computational-mathematic applied for environmental impact assessment, whose main applications have been mathematical-modelling simulation applied for risk assessment of pesticide dynamics; pest integrated management (biological control and populational dynamic of agricultural insects); greenhouse gas emission from paddy-rice for the Brazilian national inventory reference repport; as well as other systemic aspects related to environmental impacts assessment of agriculture like good agricultural practices of production systems. Received prominent awards such as Embrapa´s Award for National Excellence at individual category in 2005 and for Embrapa Environment Excellence at scientific category in 1999. Was coordinator of Environmental Education´s Brochure Collection, which was finalist of Brazilian Bank Foundation´s Award in 2005 and that also received spotlight as Social Technology of Brazilian Bank Foundation (FBB), UNESCO and Petrobras.
