Birthplace: Brazil

I graduated in Biofuels Technology from Federal Institute of Mato Grosso. During my undergrad studies, I had the opportunity to develope scientific researches, where I investigated biodiesel production from recycle cooking oil and potential oil sources from local cultivation to produce biodiesel. I was also awarded with two scholarship programs to study in United States and Canada, which I attended at University of Georgia and Niagara College Canada. During the exchange program I had internship, job and research opportunities. I am currently studying to get a Ph.D degree in Bioenergy, at Campinas State University. I am interested in Renewable Energy, English, Scientific Research, Biofuels Technology, and International Education topics.Awards:Scholarship student of the program Science without Borders .

Abstract
Since the industrial era, a large number of greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions into the atmosphere have been a concerning reality because of fossil fuels usage, the most used energy source worldwide. The development of renewable energy technologies from different sources is growing, meanwhile, they are part of the solution to reduce GHG emissions. Production of advanced biofuels, also called …
