Universidade Estadual Paulista (UNESP). Campus Experimental do Litoral Paulista. Instituto de Biociências (IB-CLP) (Institutional affiliation from the last research proposal) Birthplace: Brazil
Ph.D. in Chemical and Biological Engineering from the University of Minho (Portugal), M.Sc. in Biotechnology from the University of São Paulo (USP), and holds undergraduate degrees in Chemistry (Licentiate and Bachelors) and Pedagogy (with emphasis on School Administration). She has experience in Applied Microbiology, Bioremediation, Microbial Fuel Cells, fermentation processes in different reactor configurations, Molecular Biology with emphasis on fungal gene expression analysis, and both chemical and biological synthesis of metallic nanoparticles. She is currently an Assistant Professor at São Paulo State University (UNESP Universidade Estadual Paulista Júlio de Mesquita Filho), where she develops research projects focused on: (i) treatment of different types of waste using solid membrane microbial fuel cell reactors; (ii) chemical and biological synthesis of metallic nanoparticles applied to water treatment systems contaminated with pathogens; (iii) microplastic biodegradation; and (iv) prospection of marine microorganisms with biotechnological potential. She collaborates with the Nuclear and Energy Research Institute (IPEN, Brazil), the Federal University of Alfenas (UNIFAL, Brazil), the Federal University of Tocantins (UFT, Brazil), the Macau University of Science and Technology (China), the University of Saint Joseph (China), the University of Aveiro (Portugal), the University of Minho (Portugal), and the Institute of Agroecology and Food at the University of Vigo (Spain). She teaches in the Graduate Programs in Coastal Biodiversity (UNESP) and Chemical Engineering (UNIFAL). She is also a member of LEAF Linking Landscape, Environment, Agriculture and Food at the Instituto Superior de Agronomia, University of Lisbon. Above all, she is the mother of Pedro, also known as pH, Pedrola, Pezola, and many other affectionate nicknames. (Source: Lattes Curriculum)

The Rio dos Bugres, located in the Santos-São Vicente Estuarine System (São Paulo State, Brazil), shows alarming levels of contamination by microplastics (MPs) and is recognized as one of the most impacted water bodies by these contaminants worldwide. Among its main pollution sources are discarded fishing nets (FN), composed of highly durable polymers such as polyamide (PA), polypropylene…
The biogenic synthesis of nanoparticles (NPs) aims to minimize the use of reagents and processes that are toxic to the environment and human health. Studies associated with the use of biogenic zinc oxide NPs (ZnONPs) in agricultural practices describe these NPs as promising nanotools for increasing production yield and reducing the use of agrochemicals. Among the different organisms capab…
Zinc oxide nanoparticles (ZnONP) synthesis through green approaches aims to minimize the use of reagents that are toxic to the environment and human health. Among the various microorganisms capable of biosynthesizing ZnONP, fungi stand out for their high tolerance to metals, bioaccumulation capacity, ease of large-scale cultivation, and economic viability. However, the synthesis process s…
Bionanotechnology emerged as an integration between biotechnology and nanotechnology for the development of biological synthesis and environmentally beneficial technology for the synthesis of nanomaterials. Due to their recognized antimicrobial activity, silver nanoparticles (AgNPs) of biological origin are considered promising bionanotechnological materials for various industrial and env…
The development of low-cost systems in the disinfection of water for human consumption becomes essential. Currently, nanotechnology is referred to as a promising approach in this segment. However, the method of obtaining nanomaterials used in water treatment is considered inappropriate according to the 2030 Agenda proposed by the United Nations, which is based on sustainable development. …
