Profile Summary

I am currently an Assistant Professor in the Department of Biological and Medical Sciences at Southwestern Oklahoma State University (SWOSU). I hold a PhD in Sciences (Ecology) and a MBA degree in Data Science & Analytics, both received from the University of Sao Paulo. I have long experience working as a professional researcher. My background includes data collection and management, statistical analysis, result visualization, storytelling and problem solving, and technical writing. Specifically, my experience in data science covers: • Machine learning/Statistical Modeling (e.g. Regressions, Mixed-Effect Models, etc.) • Multivariate statistics (PCA, NMDS, RDA, etc.) • Network analysis (SNA tools, e.g. Gephi, Pajek, Bipartite) • Time Series (Circular Statistics) • Programming (R) • Data visualization (PowerBI, R, Excel) • Technical writing (English and Portuguese) My experience as a professor includes teaching courses at both undergraduate and graduate level. My courses cover general biological concepts, biology of plants, plant reproductive biology as well as R/Statistics, helping students develop their statistical and programming skills. Finally, I have contributed to ~40 peer-reviews of academic paper submissions to ~20 scientific journals. As required for data driven solutions and scientific research, I'm continuously willing to expand my knowledge based on curiosity and passion for science.
