Graduated in Chemistry from University of São Paulo (1972), M.C.E and DrEng in Civil Engineering from University of São Paulo (EPUSP), 1992 and 1998 respectively. Currently is a guest researcher at Civil Engineering Department of the Polytechnic School from University of São Paulo. She was a chemist researcher from Civil Engineering Division at Institute of Technological Research (IPT) for 23 years as well as coordinator of Paints for Building Construction Committee (CE-02: 115.29) for 15 years. She works in the area of Building Materials and Components, Sustainable Constructions, with emphases on the following themes: performance, service life prediction, weathering, durability, pathology, and environmental sustainability. Specialist in paints for building construction, studies in "cool roofs", water repellents, surface materials and self-cleaning surfaces (photo catalysis), cool pigments, nanoparticles, whitewash. She also developed studies with admixtures for mortar and concrete, sealers and release agents. (Source: Lattes Curriculum)

The aim of this study is to propose a continuity of the study of the photo catalytic activity of ZnO compared to n-TiO2P25 realized at FAPESP Process: 2013/06822-2, finished in 28.04.2016, after 30 months. It is intended to measure the photo catalytic activity of micro and nano particles of ZnO and TiO2, from different sources. Both particles were characterized by morphology (texture), ch…
The aim of the study is to compare the photo catalytic activity of NPs of ZnO and TiO2 P25, with known efficiency, on self-cleaning properties when applied on cementitious building envelopes to improve thermal comfort and energy savings inside of ambients. Both NPs are white and low solubility in water, are broadband semiconductors, and are used in photocatalytic processes. Commercial NP…
The proposed project aims to continue a study initiated in Paula Ikematsu's dissertation. In this project, a methodology was developed to investigate the thermal performance of "cool" paints applied on fibre cement roof sheets. The results showed that these paints have potential to reduce the surface temperature of this type of roof sheet and to improve thermal comfort inside buildings co…

The proposed project aims to continue the research project FAPESP/Process 2013/06822-2 entitled "Study of the photocatalytic activity of nanoparticles (NPs) of ZnO compared to TiO2 applied on external surfaces of cementitious building." TiO2 particles are known to be effective for the purposes of self-cleaning external surfaces of buildings by incidence of ultraviolet radiation. This proc…
The project aims to continue the activities developed by the student Liborio Isabela Martins da Silva as a Fellow of TT-1 level in FAPESP Project: 2009/18246-0, "Formulation, characterization, performance, and durability of cool paints" where. In this project are being studied the performance and durability of three groups of paints, "cool" and conventional paints formulated in the labora…
