Universidade de São Paulo (USP). Escola Superior de Agricultura Luiz de Queiroz (ESALQ) (Institutional affiliation from the last research proposal) Birthplace: Brazil
Associate Professor at the Luiz de Queiroz College of Agriculture (ESALQ/USP), based in the Department of Biosystems Engineering (LEB), with a consolidated academic career in teaching, research, extension, and university administration. Holds a degree in Agricultural Engineering from the Federal University of Lavras (1998), a Masters in Agrometeorology from ESALQ/USP (2000), a Ph.D. in Agricultural Engineering from UNICAMP (2004), and a postdoctoral fellowship from the same institution (2005). Coordinates the Research Group on Animal Welfare, Environment, and Precision Livestock Farming (GBAZP), where she develops interdisciplinary and applied studies in Precision Livestock, Animal Environment and Agrometeorology, focusing on traceability, sensors, signal and image analysis, and animal welfare, especially for swine, poultry, and cattle.She is responsible for the course LEB5044-1 Precision Livestock Farming I: Principles and Concepts in the Graduate Program in Agricultural Systems Engineering (PPGESA), where she also served as deputy coordinator (20212023). Actively involved in academic management, she serves as a full member of the ESALQ Congregation, the Council of the Department of Biosystems Engineering, the Inclusion and Belonging Committee (CIP), and the Coordinating Committee of the Agronomy Undergraduate Program (CoC), among others. She also serves on the Animal Ethics Committee (CEUA/USP), with extensive experience in evaluating experimental research protocols.She coordinates research projects funded by FAPESP, CNPq, private companies, and international institutions, including collaborations with the University of NebraskaLincoln, University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign (UIUC), University of Évora, Roboagro, Sadia, Korin, and Fazenda Colorado. She is the author of several peer-reviewed journal articles (JCR-indexed), book chapters, and holds the patent BR5120230007633, related to the GRT Suínos system for managing thermal risk in swine production. Her work has been recognized with awards, including the Superior Paper Award from Transactions of the ASABE and national honors in innovation and animal environment congresses.She is currently preparing for an academic leave abroad at the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign (UIUC), where she will engage in collaborative research within the Department of Animal Sciences, further expanding ESALQs international partnerships and strengthening the GBAZPs scope of action.

There is increased pressure to improve the sustainability of animal production. New approaches should be considered to ensure sustainability. Two interlinked and pivotal components of sustainability are worker effectiveness and animal well-being. It is essential to maintain animal well-being and production at adequate standards. Therefore, it is critical to identify animal well-being conc…
For decades, farmers have detected issues in animal health and well-being by observing changes in behavior, but this process is time-consuming and requires an in-depth understanding of animal production. To create a more efficient animal monitoring process, researchers have developed new methods using digital images/sound to automatically detect behaviors associated with management issues…
The automation is becoming critical to the competitiveness of various sectors of the economy, bringing with it new technologies, adding quality and reliability in production processes. The development of an automated system for individualized nutrition using technologies such as programmable logic control system and radio frequency identification allow the performance of individual operat…

Sheep farming, an ancient and widely practiced activity, faces significant challenges in Brazil, such as individual identification and tracking, which are still conducted using traditional methods like ear tags and markings, causing stress, along with a lack of data on animal health. This project addresses the need for individual identification of sheep, aiming at the well-being and healt…
Chicken meat is one of the most consumed proteins in the world, being the search for increasingly intensified production systems is fundamental. Environments intensives can generate stressful situations for the birds, with that increased the need to adopt new measures for the management and monitoring of animals in it concerns your behavior and physical condition. In this sense, an enviro…
Chicken is one of the most consumed proteins in the world, which has made the productive system intensive. The intensification of the rearing system can be a source of stress to animals, making it necessary to search for alternatives to manage and monitor the physical condition of animals in a less invasive way and to promote an environment that allows genetic optimization for weight gain…
Climate change can have direct and indirect impacts on humans, agricultural production and animal production. In the climate of climate change, there are the so-called extreme events. These events include hot flashes, which in turn are classified as an abnormally hot period. According to the IPCC reports, there will be an increase in hot flashes in the coming years. Livestock systems are …

Food production increasingly requires products deriving from animals created by respecting the welfare precepts. The intensive farming system has several sources of stress, making necessary the search for alternatives that promote the improvement of these conditions. The human influence on animal management activities, in addition to increasing production costs, becomes another source of …
