Graduation and PhD in Natural Sciences by the Eidgenössische Technische Hochschule (ETH) Zürich, Switzerland. He is currently a Lecturer in the Department of Chemical Engineering at the Polytechnical School of the University of São Paulo. His research is in the field of environmental biotechnology, with emphasis on biofilms, focusing mainly on the following topics: fundamental aspects of the formation of microbial biofilms, biofouling of filter membranes (microfiltration and reverse osmosis), use of biofilms in bioremediation of contaminated areas, biofilms in hydroelectric plants (Biofouling and biocorrosion) and in basic sanitation (biofouling, bio-reactors and biofilms in potable water distribution networks) as well as in the recovery of tailings from the mining industry.

Reverse osmosis (OR) or nanofiltration (NF) membrane plants equipped with spiral wound elements represent the state of the art in the treatment of water contaminated with organic and inorganic pollutants. This separation technology offers an effective barrier to salts, organics and particles and does not depend on chemicals for treatment. Despite being a mature technology, there are still…
This master's project aims to develop the following subprojects of the work plan of the FAPESP/SABESP 2020/12275-8 Innovation for reverse osmosis equipment main proposal:R2B RO plant with recirculation and intermittent waste disposal: construction & comissioning of the plant, operations optimization with surface water sourced from the rowing channel of the University of São Paulo.R2C RO p…
This project aims at the development of compact biological filters for the treatment of feed water from reverse osmosis systems. Different media and different compaction configurations will be evaluated with the aim of reducing the solids content (SDI below 5) and minimizing the concentration of assimilable organic carbon in the treated water.
This thesis aims at the development of a set of mathematical models to identify the best reverse osmosis membrane plant solution for a supply system with wells that present nonconformities of raw water quality in relation to potability legislation. The objective is to minimize the CAPEX and OPEX costs of the system. A variant of the model should also meet the operational control demands o…
