I am a Brazilian ecologist, with a master in forestry engineering, and a PhD in Natural Sciences. I did my Bachelor and master’s degree in Brazil, while my PhD was done in Germany. My professional records involve both, scientific research, and teaching experience in Brazil, England, USA and Germany. I have experience with research that integrates ecological theories and practices to sustain restoration and conservation, in both, temperate grasslands and tropical forests (for 15 years). Currently, I am a Lecturer at the Institute of Ecology at the Leuphana University in Lüneburg, Germany.
