Agricultural engineer at ESALQ/USP, in 1998; Master and PhD in Agronomy from the same institution, in 2000 and 2003, respectively. I served as visiting researcher at the University of Florida (2010-2011) and the University of Nebraska-Lincoln (2018), United States. I was a researcher at Embrapa between 2002 and 2013, professor at PUC-Campinas between 2005 and 2013 and professor at FGV-Agro between 2008 and 2013. Between August 2006 and June 2013, I was visiting professor in a graduate course and advisor at ESALQ/USP. Since August 2013 I am professor in agrometeorology and crop modeling and, in 2014, he became an associate professor at the Department of Biosystems Engineering at ESALQ/USP. I was honored by undergrad classes at PUC and ESALQ. I have been a CNPq fellow since 2010 and published more than 100 scientific papers, 6 books and more than a dozen book chapters. I have been visiting 23 countries on scientific cooperation missions, lecturer and conducting field research. Since 2005, he has been coordinating research network projects with a national scope, involving large groups of researchers. He is a leader in fundraising and managing research groups; coordinates Tempocampo System, which advises producers and companies in the soybean, maize and sugarcane sectors in forecasting yields and interpreting the climate effects on crop performance. He is president of the Brazilian Society of Agrometeorology in the period 2021-2023, reelected for the period 2023-2025. (Source: Lattes Curriculum)

The world population can reach 9.7 billion people by 2050 with a large portion of the growth occurring in underdeveloped countries. This growth, coupled with rising per capita income, will result in increases in demand for beef of up to 35%. Although Brazil has the largest commercial herd in the world raised predominantly on tropical pastures, there are still no studies on pasture product…
Brazil is one of the world's largest producers and exporters of food, feed, fiber and (bio)fuel. Estimates indicated that the country would need to increase food production in 40% to meet global demands by 2050. Meanwhile, tropical agricultural systems have to be important allies to sequester carbon (C) and reduce greenhouse gases emission, and consequently, contribute to mitigating clima…
Global population will increase by 30% up to 2050. At the same time, consumption of livestock and dairy products will increase as a result of higher income per capita, and this will lead to a 50-70% increase in food demand. Brazil has a comparative advantage to help meet global food demand due to plentiful land and water resources. However, the rate of increase in average farmer yields ha…
Global population will peak 9.7 billion by year 2050, representing a 30 percent increase relative to today's population. At the same time, consumption of livestock and dairy products will increase as a result of higher income per capita. Altogether, this will lead to a 50-70% increase in food demand Brazil has a comparative advantage to help meet global food demand due to plentiful land a…

Population growth and increased consumption of food, fiber, and fuel in a global scenario of climate change puts pressure on the sugar-energy sector to raise production with efficient use of water resources. The aim of this project is to assess the effects of climate change on sugarcane yield and yield components, water productivity, water balance components, and soil available water in a…
Soybean production is crucial to meet the growing global demand for food and products, especially in Brazil, which accounts for more than 30% of the world's production. However, soybean productivity is limited by nitrogen, an essential element. Biological nitrogen fixation (BNF) plays a fundamental role in supplementing nitrogen for soybeans, reducing the dependence on chemical fertilizer…
Soybean and corn crops are extremely important for Brazil and, in a context of increasing world population, demand for these products is expected to increase. The soybean-maize succession is fundamental to the profitability of the land, the optimization of the use of human resources and machinery, in addition to increasing total grain production. Furthermore, it is the main agricultural s…

Predominantly carried out by family properties, cassava farming is of great importance for food security and job creation in Brazil, especially in the states of Pará and Paraná, where most of the national production is concentrated. However, it is not known for sure how this culture will develop in the face of climate change scenarios (e.g., increased temperature and increase in atmospher…
Process-based crop models are important tools to simulate plant growth, synthesizing physiological processes through input data, where it is possible to simulate genetic improvement through plant responses, in addition to edaphoclimatic and management characteristics of the studied plant. The objective of this project is calibrate the CROPGRO-Perennial Forage/DSSAT model for elephant gras…
Studying the factors that affect soybean development is important for correct decision-making and risk analysis, especially for a crop of such economic importance for Brazil. With the increase in world population, the demand for soybean by-products should be even greater, under a scenario of climate change, which threatens agricultural production by altering the basic conditions for the p…

Sugarcane production plays an important role in the world's economy, serving as afundamental source for obtaining sugar, ethanol, and other derivative products. However, thisagricultural activity is subject to significant impacts caused by climatic phenomena such as ElNiño and La Niña. These climate variations have important effects on the global climate,affecting rainfall, temperature, a…
It is important to study the crop response to future climate scenarios due to climate changes affecting the Earth. Wheat is a major crop in Kansas, USA, given its role in food security. It is expected that climate change would affect crop yield in the future, and this project aims to analyze long-term climate data series in the State of Kansas to understand the impact that climate change …
The increase of global population and lack of available land evidences the challenge of raising the yield of the agricultural sector in the coming decades. The Silvopastoral system is an efficient alternative to intensify animal and crop production. However, the adoption of this kind of system carries a high uncertainty level about the quantitative impact caused by the addition of the tre…
