She holds a degree in Chemical Engineering from the Federal University of São Carlos (2005), a master's degree (2008), and a doctorate (2012) in Chemical Engineering from the State University of Campinas, and a postdoctoral degree (2018) from the University of British Columbia, Vancouver, Canada. She is currently an Associate Professor in the Department of Chemical Engineering at the Federal University of São Carlos, where she conducts research on clean energy and sustainability. Her research focuses primarily on the fluid dynamics of multiphase reactors used in the production of clean fuels. She has extensive experience in Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD) and the Discrete Element Method (DEM). (Source: Lattes Curriculum)

The energy dissipated during particle collisions in multiphase flows can significantly affect the fluid dynamic behavior of the phases in devices involving this kind of flow. Operational problems can result from not taking into account these collisions and their effects on other flow aspects, such as particle adhesion and changes in the drag and lift, in the equipment design. This project…
In the search for sustainable fuels for aviation, a sector responsible for around 2% to 3% of greenhouse gas emissions, the Fischer-Tropsch process has shown promise, since the fuel produced by this route generates fewer emissions than its fossil version, making it possible to meet reduction rates proposed by international agreements, such as the Paris agreement, for example. The cost ass…
Many industrial processes involve dense solid-liquid flows, in which particle-particle and particle-wall collisions determine the solid phase motion. In most of these systems, part of the energy dissipation comes from these collisions, which are mainly assessed by the effective restitution coefficient, an interaction parameter strongly influenced by physical and elastic properties of the …
Wastewater treatments using anaerobic bioreactors are have been gaining notoriety in last decades by being an effective, low-cost, clean technology, also presenting biogases as byproduct of its reaction, which can be harnessed as renewable energy sources. Among these bioreactors, fluidized bed ones stand out, due to its high mass transfer rate and productivity when compared to fix or slur…

Wastewater treatment using liquid fluidized bed anaerobic bioreactor is an effective and self-sustainable technology. The performance of this type of equipment is usually better than other technologies, like slurry and fixed bed, because of the increase in mass transfer between phases. However, it is quite challenging to determine how particles and fluid behave inside the equipment, leadi…
One of the most promising technologies employed for biological wastewater treatment in recent years is the fluidized bed. In this kind of device, pollutants in wastewater are removed by the action of microbes immobilized on the surface of the fluidized particles, known as bioparticles. One of the advantages of fluidized bed reactors is that they operate at high overall pollutant removal r…
