I am Researcher of “Núcleo de Ecologia e Monitoramento Ambiental” from Universidade Federal do Vale do São Francisco. As a researcher, I am especially interested in macro-ecology, geographic distribution of species, biological invasions and biodiversity conservation, especially when it involves algae and aquatic plants. In addition to my interests in botany and ecology, I like to meet and socialize with different people, and play soccer with my children.
