Birthplace: Brazil

I hold a technical background in Mechanics from the Technical School Prof. Everardo Passos (2014) and earned both a Bachelors degree in Science and Technology (2018) and Materials Engineering (2021) from the Federal University of São Paulo (UNIFESP). I gained practical industry experience as an intern and test technician at Embraer (2015-2018), and later as a CAPEX Engineering intern at Gerdau (2021). I completed a Master's degree in Materials Science and Engineering at UNIFESP (2024) and am currently pursuing a Ph.D. in the same field. My expertise includes structural and materials testing, as well as product and process development of polymer nanocomposites, biodegradable polymer blends, and polymer recycling. My work is focused on sustainable technologies with interdisciplinary perspective and emphasis on materials from renewable sources, biodegradability, circular economy strategies, and social dimensions of plastic pollution.

Abstract
The environmental problems related to waste accumulation have encouraged recycling, especially of polymeric materials. As consumption of disposable materials increase significantly in the last decades, recycling become an extremely important tool for development of circular economy. One of the materials produced in large scale is the multilayer packaging, which is hardly recycled by conve…

Abstract
The development of biodegradable polymeric materials has been stimulated owing to the environmental problems related to inappropriate litter disposing which includes polymeric materials with long-time degradation. The replacement of these polymers for biodegradable polymers is complicated due to economic factors as the biodegradable polymers are more expensive than the conventional ones a…
