Biography
He holds a bachelor's degree in Biological Sciences from the Federal University of São Carlos (1995), a Master's Degree in Biological Sciences (Zoology) from the University of São Paulo (1999) and a PhD in Biological Sciences (Zoology) from the University of São Paulo (2005). He has a postdoctoral degree from Harvard University in the Department of Organismic and Evolutionary Biology. She is currently a postdoctoral fellow at the Center for Marine Biology at USP and an associate researcher at the Museum of Comparative Zoology at Harvard University. He has experience in zoology, with emphasis on systematics of molecular and morphological phylogenetics, evolution and taxonomy of recent groups. It works mainly in the following subjects: Sipuncula, zoology, phyllogeography, marine biology.
Research Interest
Systematic molecular and morphological phylogenetics, Taxonomy of Sipuncula, Echinodermata: Holothuroidea, Natural History of Marine Invertebrates, Zoogeography and Taxonomy of Sipuncula.
