I am a modeler scientist at CIRAD. As member of the SENS Research Unit, I contribute to promote the Companion Modelling approach (http://www.commod.org). Through the development of CORMAS, a Framework for multi-agent models (http://cormas.cirad.fr), I am focusing on the development and the use of Multi-Agent Systems for the simulation of renewable resource management issues. Since 2005, I was based in Brazil, at the University of Brasilia until 2011 and at the PUC-Rio, Laboratory of Software Engineering, until 2015. I developed models related to environmental management, such as breeding adaptation to drought in the Uruguay or as breeding and deforestation in the Amazon.

From 2015 to 2021, I have been based in Costa Rica, firstly as visiting professor at the university UCR, where I worked on prospective and adaptation to Climate Change in the Guanacaste, a dry region of Costa Rica. Committed to local stakeholders, I developed educational tools to raise watershed residents' awareness on water issues (pollution and overuse of groundwater and surface water). Then I was based at CATIE, working on the epidemia of coffee leaf rust.

I am currently based in Montpellier, France.
