About me

I was born in Campos Gerais, Brazil, in 1980. Since I was a kid, I have been involved in my family's coffee business. The background picture above is of Avellino, the small coffee farm I own with my wife (and co-author) Valentina. After finishing my studies and working in both industry and academia in Rio de Janeiro, I moved to France in 2018 to join CMA, Mines Paris-PSL, in the French Riviera.
