I am a Brazilian PhD Student in Plant Pathology at UFV (BRA) and I am doing my PhD Sandwich Program at LSU (EUA). I have strong expertise in crop disease epidemiology, predictive modeling, and yield-loss simulation in crops such as soybean, wheat, rice and maize. In addition, I have worked with remote sensing to identify and quantify important diseases in rice.
