---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Associate Professor at University of Sao Paulo (USP) Brazil. Appointments with the Graduate Program in Sustainability (Environmental Science and Technology area) and the Program "Environment, Health, Sustainability" (School of Public Health - USP). At undergraduate, teaches for the Bachelor Environmental Management. During his doctorate he was also Visiting Scholar at Miami University, USA (PhD Sandwich). He obtained his Ph.D. from USP in the area of sanitation - wastewater treatment. He holds a postdoctoral degree (Sabbatical Leave) from the Civil and Environmental Engineering Department, University of California - Berkeley, USA (2015-2016). He coordinated the Postgraduate Program (M.Sc;, P.hD.) in Sustainability, and was one of its founders. Experience in coordinating projects funded by FAPESP, FINEP, World Bank, CNpq Unesco. He chaired the Postgraduate Committee and is the leader of the Research Group (CNPq) "Water, Sanitation, and Sustainability" - GEPASS since 2008, coordinates the Laboratory of Research in Sanitation and Environmental Technology (LabTecSan), coordinator of InovaLab Environmental Sustainability (teaching, research, and outreach). Among his main interests in the fileld of environmental science and technology are: wastewater treatment systems, production of bioenergy in bioelectrochemical systems, removal of organic micropollutants (pharmaceuticals, hormones, personal care products) in natural water and wastewater. resources recovery from wastes. He is a representative of USP in the EXCEED / SWINDON project - "Sustainable Water Management in Development Countries" (with 23 universities in Asia, Africa, Europe, and Latin America) financed by Bundesministerium für wirtschaftliche Zusammenarbeit und Entwicklung - BMZ (Germany) as representative of Latin American universities (2017-2018).

This proposal aims to start a new international academic collaboration between USP and TU Delft. Considering the challenges are complex, the benefits of the academic interaction are mutual. The planet situation with the current scarcity of world resources, the increased energy costs and the increasing environmental awareness have in the last years increased the focus on the circular econ…
The FAPESP - Shell Research Centre for Greenhouse Gas Innovation aims to be a world-class Centre for advanced studies with a focus on innovation towards sustainability and mitigation of greenhouse gas emissions. The Centre complements Fapesp's experiences in supporting high-level scientific research and technology development towards these fields. It aims to establish a world-class Centre…
In 2015, the world's leaders agreed on 17 Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) that describe a new agenda for sustainability. Given the large populations and environmental footprint of cities, SDG 11 'Sustainable cities and communities' should be considered a critical goal that will affect the achievements of several other SDGs. In particular, clean water and sanitation (SDG 6), and affor…
This project will be developed in the context of a PhD Thesis of the Graduate Program in Sustainability of University of Sao Paulo. The main focus is very much aligned to The BIOEN Program of FAPESP, mainly because it is innovation interdisciplinary science and technologically approached at least in two important aspects: (1) To produce renewable energy in the form of bio-electricity, (2)…
The growing urbanization process has been increasing the size of population in urban areas, and the environmental impacts associated are at a rate never observed in history. Among these impacts is the one due to wastewater production, which collects the major part of urban byproducts. Public health strategies for treatment of such waters decreased mortality, and the water-vehicled disease…
Most of the Wastewater Treatment Plants (WWTPs) do not have effective systems for Biological Nitrogen Removal (BNR), resulting in the release of point sources of reactive nitrogen in aquatic systems, as well as the emission of nitrous oxide (N2O) to the atmosphere - which has a high global warming potential and stratospheric ozone consumption. Within this context, operational strategies c…
With the advancement of everyday technologies, in the environmental field, the importance of keeping research parallel to these advances is perceived, the technological proposal is the use of Microbial Fuel Cells (CCM) for the treatment of waste water and generation of energy. The use of CCM stands out mainly for its efficiency in energy generation, thanks to several components, one of wh…
The development of new technologies to meet energy demand and wastewater treatment is becoming increasingly relevant. In view of this, the Microbial fuel cell (CCM) emerges as an alternative to conversion organic matter into electric energy from water treatment Residential However, the power generation to be obtained in CCMs still presents scientific challenges for better technology. So t…
