I am Tiana Assis, a PhD Student in Sustainable Development and Climate Change at the University School for Advanced Studies of Pavia, under the supervision of Professor Alessandro Caiani.
With the assistance of ML techniques, my research models land-use processes related to livestock production in the Brazilian Amazon, with a particular focus on the economic and policy incentives shaping these dynamics in carbon sink areas.
I hold a Bachelor’s degree in Economics from the Federal University of Juiz de Fora (UFJF), Brazil, and a Master’s in Public Administration from the Federal University of Santa Maria (UFSM), Brazil, with a concentration in Economics, Finance, and Public Policy. I have previously worked with policy evaluation as a research fellow at the Brazilian Federal Agency for Graduate Education and Research (CAPES) and collaborated on projects at the Inter-American Development Bank Group (IDB).
As a visiting researcher, I am deeply motivated by interdisciplinary approaches and the pursuit of sustainable solutions for complex socio-environmental challenges.
