Role
Alex is originally from Brazil, where he did his veterinary degree at the Universidade Federal do Rio Grande Do Sul (UFRGS). During his degree, he developed an interest in animal behaviour, which brought him to the UK where he went on to do an MSc in Clinical Animal Behaviour at the University of Lincoln. Afterwards he did some work with research, which led to a short research base post with The University of Vienna, in which he collected data in social behaviour of wolves. Since then, he joined NTU and have been working as course leader for the FdSc in Animal Science.
