Civil Engineer from the University of Pernambuco (1983), Master in Soil Mechanics from the Pontifical Catholic University of Rio de Janeiro (1986), PhD in Geotechnics from the University of London - Imperial College (1994) and postdoctoral degree from Arizona State University (2008) . He is a professor at the University of São Paulo and works at the Institute of Geosciences and at the Polytechnic School of USP. He is deputy coordinator of the graduate program in Mineral Resources and Hydrogeology at the Institute of Geosciences. He is a member of the Deliberative Council of the Engenho Ruínas São Jorge dos Erasmos National Monument. It develops research projects with industry and public development agencies, and its main focus is on the following topics: Slope stability, earth dams, unsaturated soils, effect of climate on geotechnical works, coverage of waste landfills, experimental studies of field and laboratory, behavior of mining tailings, flow in porous media.

Soils with potentially expansive characteristics pose a problem in many engineering works worldwide. When not detected or inappropriately considered, they can cause severe damage to buildings and civil infrastructure. Stress relieve of soil and/or suction change triggered by climatic or anthropogenic actions may induce volumetric variations in this type of soil. These volumetric changes g…
The digital transformation is still little consolidated in Brazilian society. Improvements in performance and differentiation resulting of such transformation have not yet been fully absorbed in companies and in the public administration. In general, solutions required for implementing the digital transformation in cities and in manufacturing processes combine advanced connectivity and au…
In Brazil, with the expansion of infrastructure in all regions, several works have faced situations where the stiff clays play a fundamental role in behavior and therefore the design and implementation of several works. Several works of the São Paulo subway, tunnels and embankments cuts elsewhere have provided important information that contribute to the expansion of knowledge and safety …

Biodegradation of municipal solid waste in landfills is an important source of methane to the atmosphere. This gas has a significantly greater contribution to the retention of heat in the atmosphere and consequent increase in global warming (greenhouse effect) than carbon dioxide. The biological oxidation of methane in landfill cover systems is an alternative to reduce emissions. This pro…
