The PGM Department is delighted to welcome Carolina Schiesari as a Visiting Scientist for a five-month period. Carolina is affiliated with the Luiz de Queiroz College of Agriculture (ESALQ) at the University of São Paulo (USP) and is a member of the Research Group on Alternative and Emerging Agricultures (AGREMAL), coordinated by Paulo Eduardo Moruzzi Marques, her supervisor in Brazil. She has been selected to undertake part of her Postdoc at the Department of Urban and Regional Planning and Geo‑Information Management. The scholarship is funded by the São Paulo Research Foundation (FAPESP) through the Research Internship Abroad (BEPE) programme (Process No. 2025/06046-0). Her stay is expected to begin after Summer 2025.
The main goal of Carolina’s visit to ITC is to strengthen her academic training, with a focus on advancing her research entitled “Impact Analysis of Agroforestry Systems from a Geospatial Perspective: A Case Study of Rural Settlements in the State of São Paulo, Brazil,” under the supervision of André Mano. FAPESP’s support will enable Carolina to broaden the scope of her research, collaborate with the ITC team, and incorporate an international perspective, thereby contributing to the consolidation and further development of her research line.
ITC is excited to host Carolina and looks forward to further strengthening the collaboration between the institutions.
