I have a bachelor's and master's degree in biological sciences from Federal University of Alagoas, Brazil. My experiences are in conservation of species and landscapes, as well as protected areas. My research interest has been focused on understanding gaps in biodiversity knowledge, using metrics to quantify them. Currently, in my PhD thesis, I investigate the Linnean and Wallacean shortfalls in Portuguese-African countries' biodiversity, inserted in the context of the Tropibio Project.
