Profile Summary

I am Dr. João Claudio Vilvert, an Agronomist and Postdoctoral Researcher at the Brazilian Agricultural Research Corporation, holding a Ph.D. in Plant Science with a specialization in Applied Statistics. My research focuses on the postharvest physiology and technology of tropical and temperate fruits, with an emphasis on fruit quality, bioactive compounds, and environmentally friendly preservation methods. In addition to my research activities, I have extensive experience in conducting and supervising systematic reviews and meta-analyses. I have also taught a graduate-level course on this topic, strengthening my skills in evidence synthesis, critical appraisal, and advanced data analysis. I have authored 14 peer-reviewed articles in high-impact journals and presented over 40 abstracts and papers at national and international conferences. Additionally, I actively serve as a peer reviewer for several reputable journals, including LWT – Food Science and Technology, Journal of Functional Foods, Horticulturae, and Scientia Horticulturae. This experience has strengthened my skills in critical analysis, scientific writing, proofreading, and deepened my engagement with the academic publishing process.
