Universidade de São Paulo (USP). Instituto de Química de São Carlos (IQSC) (Institutional affiliation from the last research proposal) Birthplace: Colômbia
Graduated in Environmental Engineering from the Universidad Manuela Beltrán (Bogotá D.C., Colombia - 2007), with additional coursework and a scientific initiation project developed within the Environmental Engineering program at EESC/USP. She holds a Master's and Ph.D. in Sciences (area: Hydraulic Engineering and Sanitation) from the School of Engineering of São Carlos at the University of São Paulo (EESC/USP), with a doctoral internship at VITO, Belgium. She completed postdoctoral research at the Institute of Chemistry at São Carlos (IQSC/USP) in collaboration with VITO, Belgium, focusing on Separation and Conversion Technologies. She also worked as a postdoctoral researcher at the School of Arts, Sciences, and Humanities at USP Leste (EACH/USP), specializing in sustainability, in partnership with the Research Center for Greenhouse Gas Innovation (RCGI). Currently, she is a lead researcher in the biogas and biomolecules production skills development program at SENAI, Sertãozinho unit. Her primary research interests involve the application of biological and bioelectrochemical systems for energy recovery (hydrogen and/or methane) and the production of value-added organic compounds from liquid and gaseous effluents.

Economic growth of Brazil is largely supported by bioethanol production, which is a biofuel obtained from a renewable material, and its combustion is less aggressive to the environment, as compared to fossil fuels. Nevertheless, each liter of bioethanol generates approximately between 10 and 15 L of vinasse, which contains high amount of organic matter, as well as antibacterial and recalc…
Anaerobic digestion has been considered as an attractive method to stabilize the organic matter from wastewater, since it recovers sustainable energy, such as H2 and other products of chemical interest. However, although the theoretical stoichiometric potential is 12 mol H2 mol-1, the energy recovery is low and the yield is thermodynamically limited to 4 mol H2 per mol of glucose. In this…
The specific organic loading rate (SOLR) has proven to be a key factor on the fermentative production of hydrogen. However, maintaining an appropriate value of the SOLR to achieve high yields of hydrogen is still a challenge. The periodic increase of organic load is presented as a strategy to prevent the decrease in SOLR and consequently increase and maintain a constant hydrogen productio…
