He has a degree in Physics (1965, PUC-RJ) and a Ph.D. in Solid State Physics (1972, University of Montpellier, France). At UNICAMP he was Professor at the Physics Institute (1972-92) and at the Department of Anthropology as well as at the Doctorate in Social Sciences in the special area "Intellectual Itineraries and Ethnography of Knowledge" (IFCH -1993-98). From 1999 to 2004 he was respectively, Visiting Professor in the "Interdisciplinary Studies of Communities and Social Ecology Program (EICOS/Institute of Psych. UFRJ)"; in the Centre of Sciences of Man (UENF) and in the Department of Social Sciences and of the Nucleus of Distance Learning (ne@ad) at UFES.

Since the 80s he has been working in education (formal and non-formal) and anthropological research on relations between society and nature involving concepts, like rhythms and natural and social time markers as well as in environmental perception by local populations involving sky-earth relations. The approach is mainly ethnographic for the observation of local knowledge, daily practices and techniques; these works include references on archeoastronomy and ethno-astronomy. The fieldwork is mainly centred among indigenous societies and coastal populations. He has also developed educational projects based on society/nature relations: Projects like ALDEBARÃ: Naked Eye Observatory - UNICAMP (1986) and "City Squares - Observatory" in Araras and Peruíbe (1991, SP), as well as the SULear proposal (to SOUTHernate instead of to NORTHernate as in ORIENTate).
