I was part of the Laboratory of Biological Interactions (LabIBio) at Universidade Federal do Espirito Santo (UFES), Espirito Santo, Brasile, from 2013 to 2018, with studies focused on pollination ecology, palinology and floral morphology.

Since 2019, I am a member of the Laboratory of Bees and Wasps (LAV) at Universidade Federal de Viçosa (UFV), Minas Gerais, Brasile, which has as research lines the risk analysis of transgenic plants and pesticides to pollinators, pollination, entomology, animal behavior and ecotoxicology. Currently I am laso a member of the Laboratory of Agrary Zoology, at University of Catania, where I study the risk of various pesticides to eusocial bees.
