Fabio received his degree in Physics 2002 from the Federal University of São Carlos (UFScar) and his Master degree in Engineering and Material Science from University of São Paulo (USP) in 2006. He started to work on the atmospheric remote sensing field when he joined the LEAL team as a PhD. student in 2006 at the Center for Lasers and Applications IPEN/CNEN. In his PhD. thesis was developed a validation methodology for CALIPSO-NASA satellite data in the South America Continent using a Raman and Elastic backscatter Lidar and the AERONET sun-photometer system. Currently he has a Research Assistant position at LEAL team involved in several projects concerning to environmental science applications; - CALIPSO satellite validation; - Lidar, CALIPSO and MODIS data applied to long-range aerosol ytransportation studies; - Software analysis applied to Lidar data; - Correlation between Lidar, AERONET and air quality measurements data applied to air pollution studies in megacities.
