Lúcia Bollini Braga

I hold a Bachelor's degree in Chemical Engineering from the University of São Paulo (USP) School of Engineering of Lorena (20022007), a Master's and Ph.D. in Mechanical Engineering from São Paulo State University (UNESP), Guaratinguetá campus, and a Postdoctoral degree in Energy from the Federal University of ABC (UFABC). I am currently a research associate at the Bioenergy Research Institute (IPBEN/UNESP).Throughout my academic and professional career, I have gained solid experience in areas such as fluid mechanics, transport phenomena, thermodynamics, lignocellulosic materials, renewable energy resources, energy efficiency, biofuels, fuel cells, green hydrogen production processes, economic analysis, pollutant emissions, and sustainability.For eight years, I served as Head of the Water and Wastewater Treatment Section at the School of Aeronautics Specialists (EEAR), where I was responsible for the operation, control, and technical supervision of the systems, with a strong focus on efficiency, safety, and sustainable management.In addition to research activities, I taught undergraduate engineering courses at UNESP, including Fluid Mechanics, Transport Phenomena, Thermodynamics, and Hydraulics. I am highly motivated to continue contributing to higher education, particularly in engineering programs, where I can combine strong theoretical knowledge with practical application, offering students a dynamic and technically grounded learning experience..
