Universidade de São Paulo (USP). Escola de Engenharia de Lorena (EEL) (Institutional affiliation from the last research proposal) Birthplace: Brazil
Ph.D. Professor in the Department of Biotechnology at the School of Engineering of Lorena (EEL), University of São Paulo (USP). She completed a technical course in Food Technology at the Technical College of Campinas (COTUCA) of UNICAMP in 1987, earned her bachelor's degree in Industrial Chemical Engineering from the Faculty of Chemical Engineering of Lorena (FAENQUIL, now EEL/USP) in 1996, obtained her masters degree in Industrial Biotechnology from FAENQUIL in 1999, and her Ph.D. in Biotechnology from the Institute of Biomedical Sciences (ICB) at USP in 2005. She conducted postdoctoral research in Microbial Technology and Biochemistry using renewable resources at the United States Department of Agriculture (USDA - FPL) and the University of WisconsinMadison (UW). She has academic training in the development of bioprocesses using agro-industrial residues, with a particular focus on the production of xylitol and second-generation ethanol. She is currently the Chair of the Graduate Program Committee at EEL/USP. She teaches undergraduate courses in Biochemical Engineering and Chemical Engineering and participates in the Graduate Programs in Industrial Biotechnology (PPGBI) and in Science Education Projects (PPGPE), both at EEL/USP. Her research activities focus on the chemical and enzymatic conversion of lignocellulosic residues, as well as on the development and optimization of bioprocesses and experimental design. Her research projects cover the areas of biomass conversion and applied microbiology, with a strong emphasis on Biochemical Engineering, Industrial Microbiology, and Fermentation. Additionally, she is dedicated to science education, especially in the implementation of active and agile teaching and learning methodologies. (Source: Lattes Curriculum)

Agro-industrial wastes such as corn cob have renewable building blocks such as cellulose, hemicellulose, and lignin that are very attractive for a broad spectrum of industrial and consumer applications. However, for the viable development of technological processes to obtain sustainable products, different pretreatments (thermochemical, chemical, and enzymatic) must be carried out on the …
Lipases are versatile enzymes with wide-ranging industrial applications, including the food, pharmaceutical, biofuel, and textile sectors. The growing demand for sustainable processes highlights the need to explore new sources for enzyme production. Geotrichum candidum, a filamentous fungus capable of metabolizing various substrates, shows promising potential for lipase production. In thi…
This study aims at a life cycle assessment to compare the sustainability of pre-treatment processes by extrusion and organosolv and fast pyrolysis for the production of nanolignin and nanobiochar using the agro-industrial residue corncob. The data collected from the processes studied will be selected according to the availability of primary data or information from the Life Cycle Inventor…
In last few years, there is a growing number of works that are using hydrolysates from lignocellulosic residues in bioprocesses. However, most of these studies reported that fermentation parameters are lower than the ones obtained in synthetic media. This is probably due to the presence of toxic compounds n the hydrolysates. These compounds are derived from the hydrolysis process of the l…
