Environmental Engineer (2011), Master (2014) and Doctor (2020) in Remote Sensing from the National Institute for Space Research (INPE/Brazil). He has experience with several applications in the area of Biogeosciences, with a focus on tropical ecology, nature conservation and environmental monitoring in the Amazon rainforest. He specializes in conducting quantitative research using advanced data types such as high-resolution satellite optical and airborne LIDAR data, as well as methods such as deep learning convolutional neural networks. He currently works as a postdoc researcher at the University of California Los Angeles (UCLA), investigating forest degradation mapping in tropical forests with deep learning.

The Amazon Forest is an essential component of the global climate system. It consists in ca. 40% of tropical forests, store ca. 120 ± 30 Pg of carbon in biomass, and constantly exchange carbon with the atmosphere by productivity, mortality and decomposition, and also due to deforestation and fires. Our limited knowledge of tree mortality processes constrains our ability to accurately quan…
The Amazon rainforest has proven crucial in the global climate feedback, acting as a strong carbon sink. However, empirical data show a decrease in carbon sequestration associated with increased tree mortality, which, in turn, may be associated with the climate variability. Nevertheless, it have not been found in the literature studies that address tree mortality mapping in Amazon level a…
The role of the Amazon forest as a carbon sink has been extensively studied. However, recent results show that this sink is declining possibly due to climate variability, driving an increase in tree mortality, with feedbacks between growth and death of trees. Even though forest inventory plots have been the main source of information to monitor and assess impacts of global changes on ecos…
