I am an aquatic ecologist working as an Adjunct Professor at the  Departamento de Engenharia de Biossistemas, Universidade Federal de São João del-Rei, Minas Gerais, Brazil. On this website you can find information about my research, educational background, and recent publications (and also some photos).

My main research interests are:

1. •Ecosystem ecology and limnology
   

2. •Stream ecology (nutrient and organic carbon dynamics, energy flow, primary and secondary production, hydrodynamics)
   

3. •Effects of land-use and wastewater discharge on aquatic communities and ecosystem functioning
   

4. •Microbial ecology, distribution ecology of aquatic protists, protist-bacteria interactions
   

5. •Cachaça, chorinho, and the meaning of life
