Research Interests
Applied Mineralogy, Crystallography, Microscopy and Microanalysis, Geometalurgy.
Biography
My research interests include ore mineralogy, crystallographic texture analysis using EBSD (Electron Backscatter Diffraction), and automated mineralogical characterization using QEMSCAN and MLA. Currently, I am an Assistant Professor at the University of Brasília, where I teach Crystallography at the undergraduate level and Analytical Techniques for Minerals and Rocks at the graduate level in Geology. I also serve as the Extension Coordinator of the Institute of Geosciences, leading outreach initiatives focused on the dissemination and popularization of Science. In addition, I am currently pursuing an MBA in Green Hydrogen and Energy Transition, and I am involved in projects that promote collaboration between the university and the industrial sector, fostering the integration of scientific knowledge with technological and sustainable development.
Education
Degree in Geological Engineering (Federal University of Ouro Preto) PhD in Natural Sciences (Federal University of Ouro Preto) Post-doc in Microscopy applied for projects of environment and mining areas (Microscopy Center of Universidade Federal de Minas Gerais)
