Trained as a geographer and spatial epidemiologist, I hold a PhD from the University of Campinas (UNICAMP), Brazil. I have experience in spatial and spatiotemporal analysis, regression modelling, geostatistics, and data integration. My current research focuses on the attribution of extreme climate events and their impacts on early childhood health and development. Within the CYCLONE Project, I work closely with partners at the University of Oxford, UNICEF, the International Center for Equity in Health, and regional early childhood networks across Asia-Pacific and Africa. My work in this Project bridges climate science, health, and policy engagement.
