Researcher · AI & Sustainability · Data Analytics20+ Years of Research
I am a researcher passionate about technology, data, and sustainability, working at the intersection of AI, digital innovation, and environmental performance. I have led high-impact research at a Brazilian public university, applying data-driven approaches to real-world sustainability challenges.
My work spans academic research, applied tool development, and strategic consulting — combining rigorous quantitative methods with practical implementation across port infrastructure, sustainability reporting, and digital transformation.
I am currently seeking opportunities in research institutions, international organisations, and innovative companies where I can apply my expertise in AI, sustainability analytics, and data-driven decision-making to create lasting environmental and organisational impact.

A blend of technical proficiency and domain expertise developed across two decades of research and applied work.
My research sits at the convergence of three interconnected domains.
Leveraging artificial intelligence and advanced data analytics to extract insights from complex environmental datasets, develop predictive models, and improve evidence-based decision-making processes.
Exploring how digital technologies — from smart sensors to dashboards and AI-powered tools — can transform sustainability reporting, measurement, and organisational practices at scale.
Addressing real-world environmental challenges through research on sustainability frameworks, SDG implementation, port infrastructure, and decarbonisation strategies across sectors.
Peer-reviewed research and book chapters advancing knowledge in sustainability, AI, and port infrastructure.
Examines how sustainability development goal attributes are disclosed and measured in port sector reporting, proposing a structured framework for SDG-linked performance indicators.
Investigates decarbonisation pathways for port and maritime infrastructure, analysing policy instruments, alternative fuels, and operational efficiency measures.
Analyses the challenges of implementing SDG 14 (Life Below Water) within port operations, identifying strategic interventions for marine ecosystem protection.
Investigates the uptake of international sustainability frameworks (GRI, ISO 14001, EMAS) across Brazilian port authorities, identifying drivers and barriers to adoption.
Maps sustainability practices in Brazilian ports against SDG 9 (Industry & Innovation), SDG 13 (Climate Action), and SDG 14 (Life Below Water), providing a comparative assessment.
Conducts a systematic bibliometric review of SDG-related academic literature, mapping research trends, key authors, and thematic clusters across disciplines.
Evaluates the quality and completeness of SDG disclosure practices in corporate and institutional sustainability reports, proposing metrics for transparency assessment.
Reviews the role of smart technologies — IoT, AI, and digital twins — in advancing sustainability performance and operational efficiency in modern port systems.
Provides a comprehensive review of sustainability practices aligned with the SDG framework, synthesising evidence from port sector case studies globally.
Examines how emerging technologies — including AI, IoT, and data analytics — are driving sustainability transitions in Brazilian port operations, with evidence from leading port cases.
Proposes an ESG manifesto for the port sector, articulating principles and commitments for environmental, social, and governance performance in port operations.
Covers strategic topics in port management, including logistics efficiency, regulatory frameworks, and sustainability integration in Brazilian port policy.
Continues the strategic analysis of port sector challenges, focusing on digital transformation, environmental compliance, and innovation in port governance.
