Kelcilene Bruna Teodoro Costa

Woman, 37 years old. Graduated in Chemistry from the Federal University of São Carlos (2007), Master's in Physical Chemistry from PPGQ-UFSCar (2014), and a Ph.D. in Chemistry (2019) from the same institution. Completed a doctoral internship abroad at Melbourne University (Australia) (2017) and a postdoctoral fellowship at the University of Grenoble - INP Pagora (2023). She has MBA in Project Management by the institution USP-ESALQ. Currently works as a postdoctoral researcher at Embrapa Instrumentation. Her experiences covers synthesis and chemical modification of nanocelluloses and their use in advanced applications, such as green synthesis of metallic nanoparticles, production of polymer nanocomposites for mechanical reinforcement, biodegradable materials, sensors, dressings, and controlled release. She has also experience in processing biopolymers using techniques such as extrusion, injection, spinning techniques, 3Dprinting,and casting, as well as in characterizing polymer materials: morphological, compositional, mechanical properties, wettability/polarity, thermal properties, electrical and electrochemical properties, and optical properties, including fluorescence.
