Meteorologist, PhD in Science
Postdoctoral Research Associate at Northeastern University. I have a specialization in micrometeorology, and I bring extensive expertise in numerical weather and air quality models and the development of computational tools. My professional interests include atmospheric boundary layer, turbulence, transport phenomena, wind tunnel essays, atmospheric chemistry and analytical solutions. My work is focused on advancing our understanding of the atmosphere through innovative scientific research.
Publication list
Experience
Application, evaluation and development of Air Quality models for multiple projects and regions, and other activities at CASCADE (Clean Air Smart City and Digital Earth) lab
- Brazil: multiyear application and evaluation of WRF-Chem model
- US: Development of GHG emissions (for WRF-GHG and WRF-Chem-GHG) and model evaluation
- Dubai: Application of CAMx model and use of probing tools for source apportionment, process analysis and simulation of emission scenarios
- Dissemination of scientific findings in conference and scientific journals
- Mentoring PhD students/candidates
- Support other projects
Study of the impact on air quality of emission scenarios in the formation of the secondary pollutants: ozone and particulate matter in Brazilian metropolitan regions using numerical models.
- WRF-Chem model
- Projection of air quality
Research focused on obtaining a complete diagnosis of the impact of vehicle fuels on air quality in urban regions in the southeast of Brazil and adjacent areas, through atmospheric modelling and scenario studies.
- WRF-Chem model
- VEIN model
Perform simulations of the dispersion of sulfur dioxide (SO2) from the thermoelectric power generation plant at Porto do Itaqui located in São Luís (Maranhão) using WRF-CHem and analysis of the results. The analysis was delivered in the form of media (images and animation) and a technical report together with the technical opinion.
- WRF-Chem model
- Impact of emissions
The research focused on determining turbulent flow behaviour in clearing regions and the mechanisms of atmospheric interaction between clearings and the Amazon forest, such as recirculation, boundary layer structure and formation of organized structures for this type of flow regime.
- Large Edge Simulation (LES) model
- Turbulence
- Wind tunnel essay
- Amazon clearings
