My basic and technical education were obtained in public schools. My postdoc research project was on reproduction and ecology of fishes captured by small-scale coral reef fishery in the northeast Region, Brazil. I obtained my PhD in Oceanography at the Institute of Oceanography of the University of São Paulo, Brazil, in 2015. Part of my PhD research was carried out in AZTi Tecnalia (Marine Research Division), Spain. I participate as member of editorial board and reviewer of national and international scientific journals. I also have scientific articles, book chapters and abstracts published by national and international publishers, participation in oceanographic cruises, didactic experience teaching undergraduate and postgraduate students. I have also experience with statistical analysis in R language.  I have been focused in biological oceanography with emphasis on fishery resources, fish biology and ecology, fisheries socio-economic impact and artisanal/subsistence fisheries. However, I´ve also been interested in data science and advanced analytics, plastics pollution in marine environment and fishery stock assessment.
