CENTRO ESTUDOS CARBONO AGRICULTURA TROPICAL/USP (Institutional affiliation from the last research proposal) Birthplace: Brazil
Graduated in Agronomy from the Federal University of Lavras (2004), Master in Agronomy (Soil and Plant Nutrition) from the University of São Paulo (2006) and Ph.D. in Agronomy (Soil and Plant Nutrition) from the University of São Paulo (2010). He holds a postdoctoral degree from the University of Illinois Urbana-Champaign (UIUC). He is currently a senior researcher at the National Biorenewables Laboratory (LNBR-CNPEM). He has a CNPq productivity grant. He works as a doctoral advisor in the Integrated Doctoral Program in Bioenergy (UNICAMP, USP and UNESP) and as an advisor in the Graduate Program in Soils and Plant Nutrition (ESALQ/USP). He is principal investigator and member of the Management Committee of the Center for Carbon Research in Tropical Agriculture (CCARBON/USP). He has experience in tropical soil sustainability and agro-industrial residue management, working mainly on the following topics: soil quality, land use change, soil carbon stocks and N2O emissions from agricultural soils. He is interested in investigating the main mechanisms and processes that regulate carbon storage and N2O emissions from tropical soils. (Source: Lattes Curriculum)

This project aims to explore the synergies between biomasses production, diversification and logistics of defined value chains for the production of advanced biofuels (with a special focus on aviation biofuels) via thermochemical and biochemical conversion routes. Gasification of sugarcane bagasse, other biomasses and intermediate energy carriers is an important technological route to adv…
Bioenergy production, particularly liquid biofuels, has been promoted as a mean to enhance energy security and reduce climate change impacts. However, the expansion of biofuels production based on food crops and its impact on land use have given rise to the so-called "food vs. bioenergy" debate. At the same time, livestock production is the largest anthropic use of land resources worldwid…
Over the past two decades, several studies have been conducted using process-based biogeochemical models to assess the impact of various factors on soil carbon storage and to study the dynamics of soil organic carbon. Biochar, a carbon-rich material obtained from the controlled combustion of biomass residues, has been identified as a promising carbon sequestration strategy. However, the c…
An essential part of addressing ongoing climate change involves the deployment of carbon dioxide removal (CDR) technologies to offset emissions from hard-to-decarbonize sectors. However, some of them are associated with high implementation costs or low technology readiness levels. Among the feasible CDR technologies ready for implementation, biochar offers a unique approach to promoting n…
Soil structure controls chemical, physical, and biological processes in the soil, including nitrous oxide (N2O) emissions. Soil management practices such as integrated crop-livestock (ICL) systems interfere on soil aggregation mechanisms and pore space dynamics, mainly biopore formation, as a result of the introduction of Brachiaria species. The hypotheses of this proposal are (i) the use…

The purpose of this proposal is to present a plan for a research internship abroad complementary to the ongoing postdoctoral project (Fapesp 2018/04992-1). The objective of this project is to measure N2O emissions and their associations with nirK, nirS, nosZI, nosZII, AOA, and AOB functional genes under controlled and field conditions. To meet this objective, the study related to the ongo…
Mechanized harvesting and maintenance of straw on the soil surface changed the sugarcane sector in Brazil. Among these modifications, emphasis has been given to the input of crop residues, and a consequent increase in soil carbon (C) stocks. The straw and roots are the main C inputs, and currently there is no knowledge of the participation of these plant compartments in supplying C to the…
