Graduated in Chemical Engineering from the State University of Campinas (1981), obtained a Master's degree in Nuclear Technology - Materials from the University of São Paulo (in 1986) - IPEN and a pH.D. from the University of Manchester Institute of Science and Technology (UMIST) - Corrosion and Protection Center ( 1991). In 1984 joined the Energy and Nuclear Research Institute working at the Materials Science and Technology Center. In 1987, went for her doctorate at the University of Manchester Institute of Science and Technology, having resumed her duties at IPEN in early 1992. Since 1992 ahas been working s a postgraduate advisor in the Nuclear Technology program at IPEN-USP. Works in research in the area of Corrosion and Protection against corrosion, Surface Treatments for corrosion resistance, studies of correlation between microstructure and corrosion of IPEN. In May 2019, assumed the Directorate of Research, Development and Teaching at IPEN, a position that is currently held at the institution. The main topics of interest for research are corrosion in aluminum alloys, stainless steel, biomaterials and surface treatments using clean technology processes. (Source: Lattes Curriculum)

This research project is inserted in the context of the permanent objectives of the Nuclear Fuel Center - CECON of IPEN/CNEN-SP, which includes, among others, the development of nuclear fuels for research reactors (MTR- Materials Test Reactor), power reactors (PWR-Pressurized Water Reactor) and for small modular reactors (SMR), as well as uranium targets to be used for the production of M…
Protection against corrosion of Al alloys by surface modification is crucial for the use of these alloys in structural applications. This modification should ensure adhesion to primers and paints as well as corrosion resistance. Treatments containing hexavalent chromium (Cr VI) in their composition have been used in the past for this purpose. However, these treatments are being banned in …
In the IPEN data center are network servers that store data from different research centers and whose processing capacity accommodates, among others, a cluster from the Nuclear Engineering Center and a network server dedicated to the Research Reactor Center. In addition to the IPEN centers, the data center accommodates two servers of the Brazilian Multi-Purpose Reactor - RMB project, whic…
I) Acquisition and installation of IPEN's scientific data repository The Project in question concerns the installation of a repository of scientific data at the Institute of Energy and Nuclear Research of São Paulo. A data repository is an institutional piece of equipment that aims to guarantee permanent access to research data carried out within the institution. Research data means all s…

Biodegradable metallic scaffolds are interesting biomaterials for applications in temporary implants for bone regeneration because of their good mechanical properties. In addition, the need for a second surgery to remove the implant is reduced if biodegradable metals are used. Fe has adequate mechanical properties for scaffolds manufacture and suitable biocompatibility. However, Fe shows …
Anodizing of high strength Al-Cu-Li alloys is of great interest for the aerospace industry since it uses these alloys in the aircraft structure. This research aims to study the influence of the microstructure of the 2198-T8 and 2198-T851 Al-Cu-Li alloys on the anodized layer formed in sulfuric tartaric acid solution and the effect of this layer on the corrosion resistance of these alloys.…
Friction Stir Welding (FSW) is a very efficient process to join high-strength aluminum alloys. It avoids the formation of welding defects that are originated from conventional welding techniques. In recent years, the interest in FSW by industries in general has increased significantly, but mainly by the aerospace industry. This is due to the fact that the welding of aluminum alloys using …

This project aims to study the anodizing behavior of high-strength, aeronautical-grade Al-Cu-Li alloys using high-resolution microstructural characterization techniques, such as Transmission Electron Microscopy (TEM), 3D volumetric reconstructions by electron microscopy. Through these techniques, it will be possible to identify the distribution, size and morphology of the hardening phases…
This project aims to study the localized corrosion of Al-Cu-Li alloys with high mechanical resistance, aeronautical grade, joined by FSW by means of micro-electrochemical techniques with high spatial resolution, such as the Scanning Electrochemical Microscopy (SECM) in different operation modes and by using ion-selective microelectrodes (ISME). This will allow identifying localized attack…
