Born in Mato Grosso do Sul, Jefferson loves tradition and innovation. He is passionate about making a good teréré and feels that sharing this drink is a moment of connection with the culture of his land. In his free time, the melody of his guitar accompanies his searches and reveals his lesser-known side.  

The scientist is developing a project to calculate the time it takes to restore important ecological interactions in areas undergoing restoration, a fundamental step in environmental conservation. Jefferson has a degree in environmental technology and management, a master’s in agronomy, and a doctorate in natural resources, all from the State University of Mato Grosso do Sul.

With a restless mind, he always looks for creative solutions to everyday problems, whether in research or at home. The results are gadgets and tools that Jefferson creates to take measurements. Passionate about the São Paulo tricolor, he follows the games with a faithful dog and seven feline companions.
