Since my graduation I have mostly researched coastal erosion. Now, my doctorate thesis subject is to evaluate the role of coral reefs as a natural protection against coastal hazards. Beside it, I intend to evaluate other relevant ecosystem services provided by the reefs to the local community of Pernambuco state, at Brazilian northeast. Some of the most relevant experiences of my academic career:

Scholarship at the Bournemouth University, working with coastal morphology process, 2017.

Member of the production work: “Valuation of environmental services applied to coastal vulnerability (VALSA)". Federal University of Pernambuco (UFPE) and Federal University of Rio Grande do Norte (UFRN), since 2016.

Member of the research time of the Laboratory Integrated Coastal Zone Management, at the Federal University of Pernambuco (UFPE), since 2016.

Master in Oceanography in 2015 by Federal University of Pernambuco.

Member of the research time of the Laboratory of Marine Geology, at the Federal University of Pernambuco (UFPE), since 2013.
