Bachelor's Degree in Agronomy (Taubaté University - UNITAU, 1992), Master's Degree in Production Systems (Ilha Solteira Engineering Faculty - FEIS, São Paulo State University - UNESP, 1999) and PhD. in Genetics and Plant Breeding (Jaboticabal Agricultural and Veterinary Sciences Faculty - FCAV, São Paulo State University - UNESP, 2003). Scientific Researcher at São Paulo Environmental Research Institute (IPA) since 2004, IPA General Director from 2012 through 2015, Conservation and Genetic Improvement of Tree Species Research Group Coordinator since 2006, reviewer of several scientific journals and, as a professor, teaches the following subjects (disciplines): Plant Genetic Resources Conservation (Agronomy Postgraduate Program at FEIS/UNESP) since 2008, and Tree Species Genetic Resources Conservation and Use (Renewable Resources Planning and Use Postgraduate Program, at UFSCar-Sorocaba) since 2014. I have experience in Forest Genetics Resources issues, as population genetics, quantitative genetics, forestry breeding, conservation genetics and molecular biology. I am interested in investigating seed and pollen contemporary dispersal processes, genetic isolation, reproductive systems and intrapopulational spatial genetic structure in tree species populations, located in forest fragments, by using molecular markers. I am also interested in developing seed collection methods to install orchards, ex situ genetic conservation and environmental recovery, in addition to progenies and provenances selection through exotic and native tree species breeding programs, on integrated, agroforestry and agrosilvopastoral systems. I have already published research in native species economic viability, when installed in consortium, with forest and economic importance species, to generate multiple products and income diversity during production, besides keeping environmental heterogeneity and plant genetic resources conservation in Cerrado Biome. I also researched with development of management practices and processes, in order to ensure Virola surinamensis natural populations genetic diversity maintenance and genetic resources conservation, aiming at their non-timber products sustainable use, along riparian communities in Pará State Amazon Biome.

Brazilian public policies and international agreements have raised concerns about the conservation and restoration of Atlantic Forest biome and its biodiversity. The deforestation of Atlantic Forest has reached alarming levels, letting many species of microorganisms, animals and plants at risk of extinction due to habitat loss, fragmentation and disturbance. Governmental strategies to dea…
Balforoudendron riedelianum (pau-marfim) is widely spread in Brazil, has hardwood used in carpentry and construction, however is threatened due to logging and forest fragmentation, resulting in the need for genetic conservation of the species. In order to compensate for the loss of several tree species, the Instiuto Florestal de São Paulo has been studying and implementing Asset Germplasm…
The aims of this study are investigate by microssatelite loci the genetic diversity, mating system, gene flow, pollen and seed dispersal land patterns, spatial genetic strture and the effective population size of a small population ( 7.2 ha ) of Genipa americana located in the Estação Ecológica de Mogi-Guaçu, Instituto Florestal de São Paulo. Thus, all 125 adult trees living in the stand …
Traditional forestry breeding programs in Brazil are primarily focused on meeting the demands of the pulp and paper industries. Most part of the solid wood market is supplied by the exploitation of natural forests. One species that has gained global attention, regarding this market, it is the African mahogany (Khaya spp). So, it is proposed in this project, to estimate the genetic paramet…
