Rafael L. G. Raimundo is a biologist with a broad outlook, invested in a scientific journey that mixes ecology, public management and innovation. Raimundo’s research attempts to uncover the secrets of adaptability and resilience in socio-ecological networks at the intersection between transdisciplinary science and governance. Using big data analysis and adaptive network models, the scientist will explore how simple changes in socio-productive arrangements can shape a greener future. Graduated in biological sciences from the State University of Campinas, Raimundo also has a doctorate in ecology from the University of São Paulo, where he also completed a postdoctoral period. Today, he works at the Federal University of Paraíba.

When he is not immersed in ecological data, he cultivates a passion for the Ituano team (from the state of São Paulo) while gradually becoming more and more like someone from Paraíba. Coriander, previously avoided, is now a must-have in your kitchen. The scientist also maintains a refuge: a farm near João Pessoa, a testament to his dedication to restoring ecosystems and where he seeks to learn how to build a more sustainable world.
