Teaching the following three courses in the UFSM's Forestry DepartmentDendrometry (13 Students) 60 hours Methods and techniques for measuring trees and stands in order to determine their diameter, height, basal area, and volume and to draw inferences about the laws governing their growth over timeForest Inventory (13 Students) 60 hours Analyze forest populations in terms of their quantitative, qualitative, and dynamic aspects, based on dendrometry techniques and statistical principles, in order to carry out forest inventories with an emphasis on forest administration and management.Forest Management (8 Students) 75 hours Using data collection, the structure of dendometric data, and production planning methods in order to plan forestry production and develop a management plan, aiming to achieve sustainability in the production of tangible and intangible goods.

As a Ph.D. Student, Student worker, and GRA I worked on projects to use Appalachian hardwood species in Cross Laminated Timber (CLT) panels. Activities included: • Got familiarized with visual lumber grading systems, NHLA, and NELMA.• Performed nondestructive evaluation of the boards by proof loading and acoustic vibration. • Produced CLT panels with low-grade yellow-poplar and EPA adhesive.• Processed CLT panels into specimen size, using a bandsaw, straight-line rip saw, and circular saw. • Performed bending tests in CLT panels according to PRG-320 (2020) (ASTM D198).• Performed cyclic delamination (bonding evaluation) on CLT panels according to PRG-320 (2020) standard. • Evaluated bending tests using Digital Image Correlation system and used GOM correlate in the analyzes.

As a Master's Student, I focused on my research involving the use of wood residue from demolition and construction to produce particleboards (MDF). During this period, I performed the following research and tasks: • Identify sources of wood waste from the demolition and construction• Recycle wood residue to be used in the production of particleboards• Evaluate particleboards according to European Standards: o EN 310. Wood-based panels: Determination of modulus of elasticity in bending and of bending strength; o EN 317. Particleboards and fiberboards: Determination of swelling in thickness after immersion in water; o EN 319. Particleboards and fiberboards: Determination of tensile strength perpendicular to the plane of the board; o EN 322. Wood-based panels: Determination of moisture content; o EN 323. Wood-based panels: Determination of density.• Evaluate particleboards according to Brazilian Standards: o NBR 14810 – Part 2: Requirements and test methods o NBR 14810 – Part 3: Test methods• Use of Vibro-mechanical methods to produce wood cement composites• Water treatment in Amazonian wood species to be used in the production of wood cement composites• Chemical analyses of Amazonian wood species to be used in the production of wood cement composites• Production of particleboards (MDF) from Amazonian wood species

During my undergrad years, I was an intern and research assistant in the Wood Technology Laboratory, focused on the following research activities: • Wood drying• Particleboard production• Wood and lumber characterization
