I earned my Bachelors in Biology with a Teaching Degree from the University of São Paulo, Brazil (2017), where I also completed my Masters (2020) and Ph.D. (2023) in Botany. During my graduate studies, I conducted short-term research stays at the German Centre for Integrative Biodiversity Research (Germany, 2019) and the New York Botanical Garden (USA, 2022). I then worked as a postdoctoral researcher in Biodiversity and Genomics at the Royal Botanic Gardens, Kew, UK (2023-2024). Since 2024, I have been a faculty member at the Federal University of Pernambuco, Brazil, where I currently engage in teaching, research, and outreach activities. I am also an Honorary Research Associate at Kew (since 2024) and serve as an Associate Editor for Acta Botanica Brasilica (since 2025), Brittonia (since 2024), Biodiversity Data Journal, and PhytoKeys (both since 2023). My research focuses on botany, with an emphasis on the systematics, evolution, and biogeography of flowering plants, and I work on Malvaceae, molecular ecology, domestication genomics, biodiversity informatics, and the synthesis of biogeographic patterns.

Speciation is a key evolutionary process that has generated the enormous species richness levels of South America. Modern methods of molecular systematics and genomic data are currently used to generate high-resolution phylogenies, which are essential for the study of speciation patterns and processes. In this sense, novel studies that assess changes decurrent from different speciation mo…
Byttnerioideae, Helicterioideae and Sterculioideae are monophyletic groups traditionally grouped within Sterculiaceae, which is no more recognized, because it is not monophyletic. Currently they are part of Malvaceae sensu lato, an important pantropical family whose species in Brazil occur in all domains. Nowadays, the need of more collecting efforts throughout Brazilian Southeast region …
This Scientific Iniciation projet aim to realize an interdisciplinary study envolving botany and anthropology, about tradicional uses of natural and cultivated plant species at Santuário Nacional da Umbanda (Umbanda National Shrine, SANU), located at Santo Andre, Sao Paulo state. This Atlantic Forest area (which belongs to a municipal green area called Pedroso Park) was idealized and mant…
The "cacao group" is composed by 38 species of Amazonian trees from the genera Theobroma L. and Herrania Goudot (Malvaceae, Byttnerioideae). Both genera gather c. 11,300 thousand specimen collections found at herbaria, and almost half of these samples, i.e., 5,400 (48% of all exsiccates), are found at American collections of New York, Washington DC, Saint Louis and Chicago. Concurrently, …
Mapping biogeographical patterns is essential to understand the evolution and diversification of lineages, especially in currently understudied taxonomic groups, such as the plant family Malvaceae. The family is particularly diverse in the Neotropics, with a high number of species endemic to this region, but currently is unclear if the existing network of protected areas network offers su…
