Viva Brasil! This summer, we have the pleasure of hosting students from the Brazilian Scientific Mobility Program, which is part of the Brazilian government's initiative to grant 100,000 Brazilian university students the opportunity to study abroad. Formerly know as Brazil Science Without Borders, BSMP provides scholarships to students in the Science, Technology, Engineering and Mathematics (STEM) fields. After completion of an academic year including a summer internship, students return to Brazil to complete their degrees. The program is sponsored by CAPES (Coordenação de Aperfeiçoamento de Pessoal de Nível Superior), an organization within the Brazilian Ministry of Education and CNPq (Conselho Nacional de Desenvolvimento Científico e Tecnológico), an organization within the Brazilian Ministry of Science and Technology. Learn more about BSMP here.
The students will be working with the Center for Sustainable Development under the direction of Dr. Dwane Jones, and will be conducting sustainability and urban agriculture research projects at East Capitol Urban Farm, Firebird Farm and the UDC green roof. They will be with us on a full-time basis before returning to Brazil in early August.

Brief Bio: I'm a Computer
Engineering undergraduate student from Brazil currently studying in the United
States as part of the Science Without Borders program. I consider myself a
really open-minded and outgoing person, as I get along with people really
easily. I'm a hard worker and am always willing to help those around
me, which I think has helped me build all the things I have not only in my
personal but also in my professional life.
Brief Bio: I consider myself a open minded person, and I bring this to my academic life. I’m always trying to find a solution for the society’s problems based on how engineering can help it. I’ve developed an interest into water problems and its management, mostly because my hometown often suffers with sea pollution due to untreated sewage disposal on it.
