Meteorologist, PhD in Science
I am a Postdoctoral Research Associate at Northeastern University with a specialization in air quality model development, evaluation, and application. I bring a wealth of experience in computational tool development and a deep interest in topics such as atmospheric boundary layer dynamics, turbulence, transport phenomena, and atmospheric chemistry. My goal is to advance the understanding of the atmosphere through pioneering research and innovative analytical approaches.

WRF-Chem model training school on air quality prediction and forecasting for “Training Course on Seamless Prediction of Air Pollution in Africa”
- Development of model domain, inputs and simulation sensitivity tests cases
- Presenter in On-line training scession
- Support for the hand-on simulation
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
