Bachelor's in Agronomic Engineering from the Federal University of Espírito Santo (2017). Master's degree in Tropical Agriculture from the same university (2019), where I worked on projects related to phytoremediation of soils contaminated by barite (greenhouse and field experiments). Currently, a Ph.D. student at ESALQ-USP, specializing in the biogeochemistry of iron and potentially toxic elements, focuses on studying the rhizospheric environment of metal-accumulating plants. I have been trained in spectroscopic techniques for soil analysis (SEM, XPS, XANES, EXAFS) and completed a one-year internship abroad at North Carolina State University (NCSU). My work revolves around environmental geochemistry and the restoration of mining-degraded areas, emphasizing iron, carbon, and metal biogeochemistry in soils. (Source: Lattes Curriculum)

In November, 2015, 60 million cubic meters of tailings were dumped in River Doce due to the rupture of the Samarco mining dam of Fundão, causing the greatest environmental tragedy in Brazil. The tailings, containing mainly Fe oxides, were carried by the river for more than 600 km, until reaching the estuary of River Doce, in the municipality of Linhares (ES). Estuarine regions are highly …
Catastrophic rupture of dams containing mine have been increasing worldwide and rising environmental pollution. Phytomining is a plant-based technology with great potential to decrease the threats associated with mine tailings spills and to provide potential economical rewards through bio-ore production. Although iron (Fe) ore is the major ore globally produced, generating large amounts o…
