Who am I?

I am a PhD Researcher in Plant Pathology working at the intersection of plant disease epidemiology, predictive modeling, and data-driven approaches for crop protection.

My research focuses on understanding how plant diseases develop over space and time and how quantitative models can support better decision-making in real agricultural systems.

Research Focus

• Plant disease epidemiology and risk forecasting
• Climate–disease relationships and agroclimatic drivers
• Machine learning applications in plant pathology
• Spatial and temporal modeling of disease outbreaks
• Decision-support systems for crop protection

Methods & Expertise

• Epidemiological and statistical modeling
• Machine learning and computer vision
• Geospatial and spatiotemporal analysis
• Reproducible research workflows

Affiliation & Collaboration

I am currently conducting my PhD research in Plant Pathology, with international collaboration between research groups in Brazil and the United States.

My work bridges academic research, applied field studies, and extension-oriented initiatives.

Career Interests

• Research & Development (R&D)
