  Thiago is a young scientist interested in taxonomy of ciliate protists (Ciliophora).  His current work focuses on the evolutionary relationships of
Stichotrichia—one of the most confused subjects in ciliate biology. He was awarded the 2009 John O. Corliss Ciliate Systematics Award by the International Society of Protistologists (ISOP) for the paper entitled "Morphology and morphogenesis of Strongylidium pseudocrassum Wang and Nie, 1935, with redefinition of Strongylidium Sterki, 1878 (Protista: Ciliophora: Stichotrichia)", published in Zootaxa.

Zootaxa 1559: 31-57 (24 Aug. 2007) 13 plates; 78 references
