BSc in Physics at University of São Paulo - USP (1977), MSc in Geophysics at USP (1981) and PhD in Geophysics at Durham University, England (1986) and research grant at Cornell University (1995). Associate Professor at Instituto de Astronomia, Geofisica e Ciencias Atmosféricas (IAG) of University of São Paulo, retired in 2017. During my carreer I focused my research in studying the physical properties of the South America continental lithosphere combining terrestrial and satellite derived gravity data and magnetotelluric soundings. My research was conducted in collaboration with INPE (Instituto Nacional de Pesquisas Espaciais), University of Trieste (Italy), Universities of San Juan (Argentine) and de la Republica (Uruguay.

The goal of this study is to formulate enhanced geophysical models of the crust and upper mantle that can provide further insights on the origin and evolution of the Paraná and Chaco-Paraná basins, from the Cambrian to the Cenozoic, as well as to implement and test new geophysical algorithms for investigations of the lithosphere under intracratonic sedimentary basins. The present knowledg…
Understanding the mantle transition zone structure can provide important constraints on the convection style that prevails in the mantle, a fundamental open problem in geodynamics. The transition zone is characterized by phase changes in olivine, the most abundant mineral in the mantle, and plays a key role in determining the mantle convection style, either layered convection or whole-man…
In this scientific initiation research project, we aim to evaluate the possibility of performing the truncation of spherical harmonic expansion of height geoid (EGM2008) in order to isolate the components of higher degree and order of this geopotential model that are associate with effects on geoid from crustal density anomalies. Thus, we hope to develop a technique, which allows us to de…
The aim of this project is to study the coupling between tectonics, erosion and climate in convergent margins through numerical modeling. The starting point of this new model is the three-dimensional (3D) numerical model developed by the principal investigator during his doctorate to study the interaction of tectonic and erosional processes in divergent margins. This first model incorpora…

Through this research Project we aim to implement a computational algorithm of joint inversion using teleseismic delay times and geoid anomaly data so that it is possible to model with high-resolution density variations within the mantle beneath the Paraná Basin. (AU)
