Patrícia Metolina

Chemical Engineer graduated from the Federal University of São Carlos (UFSCar), with a Masters degree in Chemical Engineering from the Polytechnic School of the University of São Paulo (USP) and a Ph.D. in Chemical Engineering from the same institution, in partnership with the Institute for Technological Research (IPT). During her doctoral studies, she completed a 12-month research internship at the Mass and Energy Transfer Laboratory of Worcester Polytechnic Institute (WPI), in Massachusetts, USA. Additionally, she holds a Bachelor's degree in Physiotherapy from the Ribeirão Preto Medical School of the University of São Paulo (USP), with experience in cardiorespiratory physiotherapy.She has solid experience in both experimental and computational research, covering topics such as wastewater treatment for biogas and hydrogen production, advanced oxidation processes for micropollutant degradation, catalytic and non-catalytic gas-solid reactions involving metal oxides, mathematical modeling for kinetic parameter estimation, and computational fluid dynamics (CFD) applied to the simulation of fluidized bed, fixed bed, and moving bed reactors. She has participated in several projects involving computational simulation of metallurgical industrial processes at the Institute for Technological Research (IPT), in collaboration with companies in the sector. She is currently a Researcher II in the field of Energy Efficiency and Decarbonization in Industrial Processes at the Senai Institute of Innovation (ISI - SEP). (Source: Lattes Curriculum)
