Honorable mention in the XIII Post-graduation simposium IAG/USP (Sep. 2021)
Here I presented a summary of my thesis (It's on portuguese).
About me
I'm a Postdoctoral researcher at the Institute of Astronomy, Geophysics, and Atmospheric Science at the University of São Paulo. My research focused on air quality modeling using WRF-Chem and in air quality data analysis. I obtained my PhD in Meteorology from University of São Paulo in 2020 under the supervision of Maria de Fátima Andrade. For my PhD research project, I worked with CAM-Chem data, and simulations with the WRF-Chem model and the MUNICH street-canyon model to simulate air quality over the Metropolitan Area of São Paulo at different scales. In 2015, I finished my master in Meteorology, where I studied the impact of chemical boundary conditions on the represation of Ozone over Southeast Brazil. From 2005 to 2009, I was and undergraduate student of Environmental engineering at Universidad Nacional Agraria La Molina. During my academic career, I became proficient in computer programming, using languages like R and Python regularly. I also became a believer in open research.

Presentations
Open source for research: A (very quick) introduction
I did an introdution to open source tools for research to the students of Universidad Nacional de Ingeniería (Lima, Peru).\ We talked about R, Python, Git, Latex, etc (It's in Spanish).
An introduction to air quality modeling
I gave a talk about how air quality models works in the XI Meteorology simposium organized by the meteorology undergrad students\ from Universidad Nacional Agraria La Molina (It's in Spanish).
