Matheus Ribeiro was born in Brasilia, the capital city of Brazil where he got his bachelor’s and master’s degrees in Agronomy. Matheus served as a professor for the Agronomy Department of Mato Grosso State University for a couple of years before working toward his PhD in Entomology from the University of Nebraska, Lincoln focusing on the risk of insecticide resistance development in North Central soybean aphid populations to thiamethoxam seed treated soybean. He continued in the Entomology department (Insecticide Toxicology Lab), as a postdoctoral research associate until the end of 2017.
