My postdoctoral research project at the University of São Paulo (USP) is part of the OTIC (Offshore Technology Innovation Centre), a Brazilian applied research center that is a partnership FAPESP (The São Paulo Research Funding Foundation) and Shell Brazil. The project is entitled "Circular decommissioning strategies for current and future FPSO platforms", in which the goal is the development of a quality-focused offshore circularity index (CI). That CI will be supported by environmental and social life cycle assessments (LCA) of the FPSO (Floating, Production, Storage, and Offloading) Espírito Santo, a Brazilian offshore oil and gas platform soon-to-be decommissioned and operated by Shell Brazil. a pilot project for the circular decommissioning of current FPSO platforms. To this end, the object of study will be based on the FPSO platform inventory considering the topside, subsea, and reverse logistics.
My Bachelor's and my PhD are in Chemical Engineering, having conducted thesis research on recycling of end-of-life Li-ion batteries that were used in electric vehicles.
Expertise: Hydrometallurgy, extraction of critical metals, electric vehicles, recycling of Li-ion batteries, Life Cycle Assessment, FPSO decommissioning, and Project Management.
