Mini-curriculum

I have a degree in Agronomy from the Federal University of Viçosa (1990), a Master's degree in Agricultural Microbiology from the Federal University of Viçosa (1994) and a PhD in Soil Science - Oregon State University (2006). I am currently a researcher at the Brazilian Agricultural Research Corporation - Coastal Tablelands and Permanent Professor at the Graduate Program in Agriculture and Biodiversity at the Federal University of Sergipe. I worked as Deputy Head of R&D at Embrapa Tabuleiros Costeiros from 2013 to 2018 and from 2021 to 2022 and as Acting General Head of the same Unit from 2018 to April 2021. I have experience in Soil Science, working mainly on the following topics: production of grains resilient to water restriction events and biotechnology of microbial processes of agricultural and agro-industrial interest.
