Collaborating Professor and postdoctoral research fellow (2023) in the Graduate Program in Environmental Engineering of the Federal University of Paraná (UFPR) in Curitiba, Brazil. He is an Environmental Engineer (2017) from the Federal University of Paraná (UFPR), Brazil. He holds a doctor degree in natural science from the University of Kaiserslautern-Landau (RPTU) in Germany and in Environmental Engineering from the Federal University of Paraná (UFPR). He is a member of the Laboratory of Limnological Research and Sensor Technology as part of the Professor Parigot de Souza Center for Hydraulics and Hydrology, UFPR. Rafael de Carvalho Bueno has experience in Physical Limnology, with a focus on numerical modelling of mixing and transport processes on lakes and reservoirs.
