The candidate holds a Bachelor's degree in Biological Sciences with a specialization in Biotechnology, as well as a degree in Biological Sciences with a bachelor degree and Bachelor of Education, both obtained from São Paulo State University Júlio de Mesquita Filho (UNESP), Brazil. During the undergraduate program, the candidate developed a strong academic foundation in microbiology, with a particular focus on its industrial applications.As part of an undergraduate research project, the candidate conducted scientific research in the field of industrial microbiology, aiming to develop technologies for the production of biomoleculessuch as ethanol, sugars, and enzymesthrough the bioconversion of agro-industrial and urban waste residues. In the Master's program in Applied Microbiology at UNESP, Campus of Rio Claro, the candidate advanced their scientific training by investigating the production and biodegradation of bioplastics, as well as assessing their ecotoxicological effects on soil and aquatic environments. Currently pursuing a Ph.D. in Cellular and Molecular Biology and Microbiology at UNESP/Rio Claro, the candidate is engaged in cutting-edge research on the biodegradation of synthetic plastics, including polyethylene (PE), polyethylene terephthalate (PET), and their blends, using thermophilic bacterial strains and thermostable enzymes obtained by heterologous expression. During the PhD the student did severals exchange at the University of Manitoba (Canada), NIOZ (Royal Netherlands Institute for Sea Research) in the Netherlands and (Source: Lattes Curriculum)

Plastic is accumulating in different ecosystems, with negative environmental and economic impacts. The concern about inadequate management and alternatives for mitigating plastic waste has grown and encouraged bioremediation studies. Although the use of fungi and bacteria is considered an eco-friendly approach in the remediation of plastic debris, the results of biodegradation efficiency …
Due to the large population growth and the current consumption habit in today's society, the environment has suffered a relevant impact regarding the extraction of natural resources and waste generation. An example of this is the production and disposal of plastic materials, most of which come from petroleum, which accumulate for considerable time in the environment and negatively impacts…
Currently there is a grand interest in renewable energy sources and low environmental impact, due to the increase in energy demand and the socio-environmental problems arising from current energy sources. Biomasses in general, such as food waste, represent an alternative energy source with significant potential to complement the world's energy matrix and high availability of material, abo…
The demand of society for different types of materials manufactured by humankind has grown exponentially since the Industrial Revolution. With advances in technology and the potential for diverse applications, materials based on natural polymers, glass, and ceramics have increasingly been replaced by petroleum-derived polymers. One such material is plastic, which, due to its wide range of…
