She holds a degree, master's, and doctorate in Physics from the Physics Institute of São Carlos - University of São Paulo (USP), specializing in optical and photonic techniques. Since 2001 she has been a researcher at Embrapa Instrumentação, São Carlos / SP. She is also currently the Deputy Head of Technology Transfer, which includes an innovation and business plan with private companies. His research area at Embrapa is optics and photonics applied to agriculture and the environment. In 2021, he had approved, under his coordination, the first National Laboratory of Agro-photonics, supported by the Ministry of Science and Technology and Innovation, within the SISFOTON initiative. She works with developing methods, sensors, and equipment for soil, plant, fertilizer, and food analysis. Some of her outstanding works include developing an automated system using laser-induced breakdown spectroscopy (LIBS) to quantify carbon, nutrients, and contaminants in the soil and the development of portable systems for the early diagnosis of plant diseases in the field. In addition, she established several international cooperations with institutions in Europe and the USA during her research activities. Within the scope of acting as Head of Technology Transfer, she was decisive in the increasing the portfolio of projects in open innovation and/or in partnership with private companies; in four years, the number of this type of project went from 25% to more than 65% of Embrapa Instrumentação projects. Also noteworthy is its work supporting the development of startups in articulation with investors and Venture Capitals. https://publons.com/researcher/2504719/debora-mbp-milori/ (Source: Lattes Curriculum)

The methodologies for reusing sewage for agricultural purposes are innovative in the country, which still lacks incentives and public policies in the sector, particularly in the semiarid region. The consolidation of such methodologies will strongly impact the management of water resources, sanitation, and the environment, making more water available for irrigation, protecting water bodies…
The wetlands have a fundamental role in the control of factors that can affect or be affected by the climatic and environment changes. The project will be developed in Nhecolândia (South Mato Grosso State), a region characterized by a system of lakes, with water composition varying from fresh to hyper saline. It is concerned to a multi and interdisciplinary research whose scientific chall…
In this proposal we shall continue our efforts to generate cutting-edge science where fundamental and applied research will advance together in the field of optics. Our research program comprises three main thrusts: cold-matter physics, plasmonics and biophotonics, fields that linked by a common theme of light matter interaction. In parallel we shall advance fundamental understanding and …
In the last 20 years, Laser-Induced Breakdown Spectroscopy (LIBS) has become one of the most promising analytical techniques, whose applications are mainly focused on direct analysis of solid samples. Its applications are the most diverse, since its instrumentation is relatively simple and can be portable. In addition, it presents high analytical frequency, multi-elementary character, and…
Inappropriate land use through conversion of native vegetation to agriculture, with intensive tillage, has been decreasing the soil organic matter (SOM) and increasing greenhouse gases (GHG) emissions, especially CO2. However, conservation agriculture techniques, like no till, has been helping to reverse this process and several studies have demonstrated its beneficial effect in increasin…
The Amazonian Forest occupies large portions of the national territory of Venezuela, Colombia, Peru, Guyana, Bolivia, Ecuador and Brazil, providing important services to humanity, such as high biodiversity, climate regulation, acting on carbon sequestration and regulation of water resources. Although the expansion of the deforested area and the use of land for agriculture, the Amazon play…

Soil organic matter (SOM) is one of the main factors that contributes for high soil quality and for crop yield increases in the tropics and subtropics. However, soil management can influence its content and composition. No-till (NT) is a well-established production system in Brazil that promotes C sequestration, but there are few studies on the SOM dynamics over time in this system and on…
