I am a professor at University of São Paulo, Brazil. My main interest is tropical forest ecology and conservation. As a scientist I have some skills in programming, mostly in R but a little of other languages (PHP, SQL, C++, LISP, HTML) and I now learning XML to be able to build and understand my own forms in ODK. I am basic involved in my own XLS/XML but as soon I have more experience I would like to help the community in any way I can. I am a really fan of colaborative and open source community. My github is https://github.com/adalardo and I have several open source projects done, mostly in R.
