From a very young age, I was exposed to agriculture, and my first impression of the field was somewhat negative - my grandparents were struggling farmers. They tried for years to make a profit from their land, but that never happened. This saddened me but also sparked my curiosity. Why does something as important as food production have to be so challenging? What would have allowed my grandparents to continue working in agriculture? These questions led me to study agronomy.Starting my career as an agribusiness technician in 2010 at IFSP and as an agronomist in 2012 at the University of São Paulo, progressing through a master's and Ph.D. at the University of Florida, and now as a Postdoctoral Researcher at Ohio State University, I have been working on plant and soil nutrition, plant ecophysiology, and crop stress management. My goal is to use my multidisciplinary background to conduct research that has a positive impact on farmers and fosters collaboration with researchers at local, regional, and international levels. The development of affordable technologies and strategies to overcome the various adversities that affect farmers is the main objective of my research. I also hope to improve science communication to the general public, which I see as a way to translate scientific findings into practical research results to meet society's needs.

Sugarcane is an economic and social crop of great importance in Brazil, given the issue of sustainability, renewable energy, and also the job opportunities and income. As an agricultural commodity, it is necessary crop production viability and be profitable for the farmers, since it is a low cost product. Therefore, the nutritional management can ensure better productivity and input costs…
In tropical soils the adsorption of phosphorus is higher onto the oxide surface, reducing the availability to plants. Thus, exploration of the soil by the roots becomes important in rhizospheric region, where the interaction between roots, plants, and, soil microorganisms is intense. The aim of this project is to evaluate the dynamic of phosphorus in the sugarcane rhizosphere under the ap…
