Bachelor's in Physics from Universidade Federal de Santa Maria (1996), master's in Space Geophysics from National Institute for Space Research - INPE (1999) and doctoral degree in Space Geophysics from National Institute for Space Research - INPE (2003), with part of the research developed at the Max Planck Institute for Solar System Research, Germany. Permanent researcher at INPE since 2004, he has acted as Academic Coordinator of the Space Geophysics Postgraduate Program (2009-2011 and 2019-2021) and as head of the Space Geophysics Division (2011-2018). Currently he is the head of the Heliophysics, Planetary Sciences and Aeronomy Division at INPE. He has experience in Space Geophysics, focusing on Solar Physics, acting on the following subjects: coronal mass ejection, space weather, magnetic storms, magnetic clouds, geomagnetic storms and cosmic rays. Currently member of the board of INPE's Postgraduate Internationalization Program (PrInt/CAPES). (Source: Lattes Curriculum)

This project aims at conducting simulations on the Sun-Solar Wind-Earth's Magnetosphere using CCMC (Community Coordinated Modeling Center). It also aims at promoting a training of local students and researchers from INPE and other institutions, on the Solar Wind - Magnetosphere coupling. (AU)

This project aims to study coronal mass ejections (CMEs), its resulting structures in the interplanetary medium (ICMEs) and interplanetary shocks in a comprehensive and detailed way. Observations from coronagraphs onboard both the twin spacecraft STEREO (Solar Terrestrial Relations Observatory) and the SOHO (Solar and Heliospheric Observatory) will be used. In the Earth vicinity, the obs…
It is currently known that solar transients such as flares, prominence eruptions and coronal mass ejections (CMEs) affect the Earth environment injecting particles and energy into the magnetosphere, ionosphere and upper atmosphere. There, they cause geomagnetic activity in the form of auroral activity observed at high latitudes, sub-storms, geomagnetic storms and other related effects tha…
This project aims to study coronal mass ejections (CMEs) and their interplanetary counterparts (ICMEs) using observations from both ground-based cosmic ray detectors and coronagraphs. It is known that CMEs are one of the main sources of geomagnetic disturbances (Gosling et al. 1990, 1991), being a central role on space weather research. The combination of ground-based cosmic ray (muon) d…

Coronal mass ejections (CMEs) are the main drivers of geomagnetic storms. Hence, prediction of their arrival time at Earth is of primary interest for understanding and improving Space Weather. To do this it is necessary to understand the forces acting during their propagation from the Sun to the Earth, such as the Lorentz hoop force and the aerodynamic drag. Some models, such as the erup…
The need for a comprehensive database and catalog of coronal mass ejections (CMEs) usingthe combined simultaneous observations from the twin white-light coronagraphs on board theSTEREO mission is of extreme importance in the context of space weather forecasting. Wepropose to build a couple of cross-linked databases of the CMEs (and their properties)observed by the twin STEREO/COR2 instrum…
Cosmic ray with energy on the GeV range are modulated in the vicinity of the Earth by interplanetary structures like magnetic clouds. The interplanetary magnetic structures affect specially the diffusion and convection of cosmic ray. Thanks to the simultaneous observation of secondary cosmic ray (muons) in different places on the Earth surface, it is possible to reconstruct the spatial di…
