Professor of the Department of Atmospheric Sciences at the Institute of Astronomy, Geophysics and Atmospheric Sciences (IAG) at the University of São Paulo (USP). Works on the interface of atmospheric mechanisms and physicochemical properties of atmospheric aerosols. The researcher has interests in the mechanisms of secondary aerosol formation, aerosol aging processes, and radiative impacts of aerosols on the climate. He has a particular interest in the atmospheric processes that govern the dynamics of aerosols in the vertical profile of the lower Amazonian troposphere. The researcher also has experience in aerosol instrumentation and atmospheric data analysis.
