Matheus Pinheiro Ferreira holds a B.Sc. in Forest Engineering from the Federal University of Paraná (UFPR, 2010), with additional training at the University of Freiburg, Germany, and an M.Sc. (2012) and Ph.D. (2017) in Remote Sensing from the National Institute for Space Research (INPE). His current research focuses on monitoring and quantifying forest resources through remote sensing and forest inventories. In recent years, he has dedicated himself to developing artificial intelligence methods for mapping tree species, quantifying floristic diversity, and monitoring carbon stocks and sequestration in tropical forests using data from active and passive remote sensors. He has experience in hyperspectral remote sensing and radiative transfer modeling. From 2018 to 2024, he served as an Assistant Professor in the Cartographic Engineering Section at the Military Institute of Engineering (IME). He is currently a Professor at the University of São Paulo (USP), in the Department of Forest Sciences at the Luiz de Queiroz College of Agriculture (ESALQ).
