    I am a Ph.D. student with Dr. Jocélia Grazia at the Universidade Federal do Rio Grande do Sul, Brazil.  My primary interests are: 1) Systematics, phylogeny, and biogeography of Carpocorini and Menidini; 2) Morphology and biology of species of economic importance of the Mecocephala Group; and 3) Taxonomy of Neotropical Pentatomidae.
