Universidade Estadual de Campinas (UNICAMP). Instituto de Química (IQ) (Institutional affiliation from the last research proposal) Birthplace: Brazil
Assistant Professor at the Department of Chemistry at the Pontifical Catholic University of Rio de Janeiro (PUC-Rio) since 2015. Recipient of the "Young Scientist of Our State" and "Young Researcher of Rio de Janeiro" awards by FAPERJ. Winner of the Hans Viertler Award for Young Scientists granted by the Brazilian Chemical Society in 2021. Coordinator of the Macromolecules Nanoparticles Laboratory (MN Lab), where Basic Science is extremely important for the development of Applied Science. The research in Physical Chemistry of Colloids aims at a better understanding of the phenomena in order to apply them in the most diverse areas, such as: cosmetics, oil gas, catalysis, biomedical applications, etc.BS degree (2007) in Chemistry and Ph.D. degree in Sciences (2012) from UNICAMP. Post-doctoral researcher at BioNanoPlasmonics Lab Spain (2014-2015). She has extensive experience with polymers and surfactants, liquid crystals, nanoparticles, micellar systems, and emulsions. She is a specialist in light scattering techniques (SLS and DLS) and X-rays (SAXS) and has experience in other techniques for characterization of colloids and nanomaterials (tensiometry, rheology, calorimetry, etc.).She teaches online continuing education courses in cosmetics and in-company trainings for companies in several sectors related to colloids (cosmetics, crop, oil gas, and food). She also works on scientific communication for lay people through @macro.nano.lab, which has over 21k followers. (Source: Lattes Curriculum)

Directed self-assembly of nanoparticles is a new challenge in the field of nanotechnology, increasing the relevance of researches involving interparticle interactions and, as a consequence, making physical chemistry of colloids essential to nanoscience. In this context, the present project seeks applying the group's experience in physical chemistry of polymers and surfactants in solution …
This project continues the process 2007/05914-0. The objective of the project is to determine the effect of different chemical structures and/or monomers on the self-assembly of the cationic surfactant hexadecyltrimethylammonium using different copolymers: P(SS-Ma), the poly(4-styrene sulfonic acid-co-maleic acid), and P(MA-MAEO), the poly(methacrylic acid-co-ethoxylated methacrylate). P(…
This project aims at extending earlier studies conducted by this research group using a new approach to assess the phase equilibrium and to analyze structures of mesophases formed by mixtures of oppositely charged surfactants and polymers. Its specific objectives involve the preparation of three new complex salts using the cationic surfactant hexadecyltrimethylammonium and two ionic copol…
Janus or double-faced nanoparticles (JanusNP) may behave similarly to surfactant molecules but in a different length scale. It means that the interparticle interactions can lead to NP assembly in bulk solvents and interfaces. This behavior can be especially important for systems formed by noble-metallic nanoparticles due to the possibility of control properties related to the phenomena of…
