Professor

I am a Professor of Behavioral Ecology and Invertebrate Zoology at the University of São Carlos. I have a restless interest in the ecological and evolutionary processes that underlie Animal Behavior and Morphology. Usually, you’ll find me watching dragonflies, but you see…I tend to be venturesome and rush into anything I find captivating.  From birds to plants, from evolution to physics, I like to work integrating different things and different people to reach something beyond our imagination and reach students’ true potential.

Doutorando

“Love at first sight”, that’s how I started to study Odonates, back in 2010. I graduated in Biological Sciences at the Federal University of Uberlândia (UFU), studying potencial distribution and seasonality. Master of Sciences (University of São Paulo – USP) where I investigated the alternative mating tactics that may influence reproductive success in two Coenagrionidae species. I am currently a PhD student at USP. My main research interests are the influence of body coloration in behavior and reproductive success. Also, my work embraces taxonomy and evolution of Odonata.
