Arthur Prudêncio

Life Sciences

A passionate musician and dedicated soil engineer, Arthur finds solace in playing guitar and cavaquinho when he’s not immersed in environmental restoration and deforestation. With a degree in agricultural engineering from the Federal Rural University of Pernambuco and a master’s and PhD in soil and plant nutrition from the University of São Paulo, where he is also a postdoctoral researcher, Arthur dedicates his research to understanding the microorganisms that form biological crusts in desertified soils, hoping to use this knowledge to combat desertification.  

In his spare time, he enjoys cheering on his favorite soccer team, Palmeiras, running, and exploring new beaches.
