About

I am a postdoctoral researcher at Aalto University’s School of Chemical Engineering, specializing in sustainable materials science and bio-based composites. My research focuses on developing fully renewable and biodegradable composites by integrating advanced fiber processing techniques, such as those enabled by Ioncell technology, with bio-based matrices.
I earned my Ph.D. at the Federal University of Rio de Janeiro, where I investigated biodegradable polymer-based materials, and have since expanded my expertise through international collaborations in Brazil, China, and Finland. My work includes the functionalization of fibers, lifecycle analysis, and advancing scalable processes for eco-friendly material production.
My professional goals include leading innovative research projects that address global sustainability challenges, mentoring future scientists, and translating fundamental discoveries into industrial applications, particularly in sectors like automotive, packaging, and consumer goods.
