She holds a degree in meteorology from the Universidade Estadual Paulista - Júlio de Mesquita Filho (UNESP) and a PhD in atmospheric sciences at the Institute of Astronomy, Geophysics and Atmospheric Sciences of the University of São Paulo (IAG/USP), with the FAPESP project: Mortality of the elderly related to Heat waves in Brazilian capitals: An analysis of the present and future projections in climate change scenarios. She carried out a three-month research internship at Kent State University (Ohio / USA) (October 2021 to January 2022) in the field of human biometeorology, under the supervision of Dr Scott Sheridan. In 2017 she won the ?Dr. Fabio Luiz Teixeira Gonçalves? for the best work in the area of human and plant biometeorology, awarded by the Brazilian Society of Biometeorology (SBBMet). She has expertise in statistics applied to epidemiology and biometeorology (modeling and meta-analytic processes), analysis and data collection, programming, climate projections and health effects of climate. Her research interests are in the area of human biometeorology, climate change, heat waves, thermal comfort, adaptation and mitigation, and air pollution. (Source: Lattes Curriculum)

There is no longer any doubt that climate change is occurring as a result of the accumulation of greenhouse gases in the atmosphere, mainly due to anthropogenic emissions. Climate change can affect health in different ways, by increasing the frequency and intensity of heat waves, for example. Brazil is a country presenting in recent years an increase in the number of days with heat waves.…
The study of particulate material in air pollution has been a major issue in air quality research, once these components can cause serious problems to the environment and humans. Among the numerous diseases that may be associated with pollution and climate conditions, it is Multiple Sclerosis (MS), consisting of an autoimmune disease that affects the central nervous system causing demyeli…
The Synoptic Spatial Classification (SSC) is one of the most comprehensive methods of categorizing air masses. Sheridan (2002) developed the current SSC and referred it as "SSC2", resulting an extensive line of research which has been initiated by other authors of late 90's. The SSC2 uses a combination of meteorological variables (air temperature, dew point temperature, wind speed, cloud …
