About
Associate Professor at the Federal University of Itajubá (UNIFEI), Itabira campus, and Coordinator of the Interdisciplinary Laboratory of Composite and Polymeric Materials (LIMCOP). She holds a PhD in Chemical Sciences from the Federal University of Minas Gerais, including a cotutelle PhD in Process Engineering from the Institut National Polytechnique de Grenoble. Her research focuses on sustainable polymeric materials and circular economy, with emphasis on the valorization of lignocellulosic materials and municipal solid waste. Her expertise includes polyurethanes, smart windows, polymers for environmental applications, and advanced plastic recycling routes, including thermomechanical recycling, vitrimerization, and chemical recycling of PET via hydrolysis and glycolysis.
