About

He has majored in mining engineering from the Federal University of Ouro Preto (UFOP), a Master's and PhD degrees from the Federal University of Minas Gerais (UFMG). Full professor at the School of Mines of UFOP. With many years of previous experience in the industrial sector, he has skills in physical and physical-chemical methods of ore concentration and waste reuse, working mainly on the following topics: interfacial phenomena, process development in mineral technology, circuit design and sizing, mathematical modeling of processes, granular media dynamics, and development of mineral-based chemical processes. He has developed innovative processes including, for example: a process for zinc depletion from steel wastes; a bioactivated autocatalytic sintering process, a formulation of a new expansive agent for rock fracturing or concrete demolition, and a new process of heterogeneous biodiesel catalysis using mineral-based catalyst. At UFOP's School of Mines, he was head of the Mining Engineering Department and of the Graduate Program in Mineral Engineering (PPGEM/UFOP). From September 2021 to October 2024, he served as the coordinator of the Embrapii innovation unit "UFOP Escola de Minas," focusing on sustainable mining. In addition, he is a founding partner of Jornada Lúcida Editora and two companies linked to the mining sector.

Metrics description
h-index
A scientist has an h-index if h of his N publications are cited at least h times each, while the remaining (N - h) publications are cited no more than h times each.
i10-index
The number of the author's publications that received at least 10 links each.
m-index
The researcher's m-index is numerically equal to the ratio of his h-index to the number of years that have passed since the first publication.
o-index
The geometric mean of the h-index and the number of citations of the most cited article of the scientist.
g-index
For a given set of articles, sorted in descending order of the number of citations that these articles received, the g-index is the largest number such that the g most cited articles received (in total) at least g2 citations.
w-index
If w articles of a researcher have at least 10w citations each and other publications are less than 10(w+1) citations, then the researcher's w-index is equal to w.
