Karla Samylle de Queiroz Costa

Masters student in Agronomy (Soil and Plant Nutrition) at the University of São Paulo, Luiz de Queiroz College of Agriculture (USP/ESALQ), conducting research in the field of Soil Physics with an emphasis on modeling soil water dynamics. Holds a degree in Agronomic Engineering from the Federal Institute of Education, Science and Technology of Amapá Porto Grande Agricultural Campus (2024). During her undergraduate studies, she volunteered in extension and scientific research projects (20192024); received undergraduate research fellowships (PIBIC/CNPq) in 2020, 2023, and 2024; was awarded a biotechnology innovation scholarship (PROEPPI/IFAP) from 2022 to 2023; and worked as a volunteer teaching assistant in Soil Science courses (20232024). She was a member of the Study Group on Soils and Cultivated Plants (GESP/IFAP), with experience in Agronomy and emphasis on Soil Science, particularly in the following subfields: soil physics (soil physical attributes and management, 2023present), soil management and conservation (soil phytoremediation, 20222023), and soil fertility and fertilization (nutrient management and plant nutritional assessment, 20192022). Currently, she is a member of the Study Group on Soil Physics and Process-Based Agricultural Modeling (FISOMA/USP), working on plant water stress modeling and soil hydrological modeling.
