Raoni Santana

Dr. Raoni Santana is a Brazilian physicist and professor at the Federal University of the West of Pará (UFOPA), specializing in climatology and micrometeorology. His research integrates knowledge of volatile organic compounds (VOCs) with atmospheric turbulence processes, focusing on atmospheric boundary layer dynamics and forest-atmosphere exchange mechanisms. He is actively involved in the Amazon Tall Tower Observatory (ATTO) project, which investigates complex interactions between the Amazon rainforest and the atmosphere.

His academic background includes:

• Bachelor's in Physics (2010) from Federal University of Pará
• Master's (2013) and PhD (2017) in Climate and Environment from National Institute for Amazonian Research (INPA) / State University of Amazonas (UEA)
• Current postdoctoral fellowship at Max Planck Institute for Biogeochemistry, Germany

His work bridges atmospheric chemistry with environmental science, emphasizing the critical role of biogeochemical processes in climate regulation.
