Giovanna do Espirito Santo

Technologist in Chemical Processes from the Faculty of Technology of Praia Grande (FATEC-PG), with solid experience in additive manufacturing (3D printing), development of hydrogels for bioprinting, extraction of bioactives from marine sources and creation of biomaterials for the health area. Master's degree from the Postgraduate Program of the Federal University of São Paulo - Baixada Santista Campus (UNIFESP-BS), where he developed studies in Tissue Engineering with biomaterials derived from marine sponges. He was a Technical Training-III (TT-III) and Masters-II scholarship holder from FAPESP. As part of his project, he completed a Research Internship Abroad Grant (BEPE/FAPESP) at the Institute of Research in Materials Science and Technology (INTEMA) in Mar del Plata, Argentina. During this period, he joined the Applied Electrochemistry group to develop titanium coatings with biosilica and chitosan by electrodeposition, and the Biomedical Polymers group, where he worked with PCL and biosilica nanofibers produced via electrospinning. Currently, she is a PhD student in the Postgraduate Program in Materials Science and Engineering, in the Department of Materials Engineering (DEMa) at the Federal University of São Carlos, where she develops metallic implants made of #946; Ti-Nb alloys coated with marine biosilica through LPBF manufacturing and MAO techniques.
