Graduated in Civil Engineering (1986). Ph.D. in Environmental Planning (2001), having developed a methodology for pollution control in water resources. First postdoctorate was on the theme of nitrous oxide flux at the air–water interface in sewage treatment plants (STP), an unprecedented study in Brazil to update IPCC data. Second postdoctorate was conducted at Johns Hopkins University in 2014/2015, regarding the use of sewage treatment for algae cultivation and biofuel production, sponsored by the Science Without Borders Program of CAPES. In 2008, she became a LEAD fellow in a Leadership Training Program for Sustainable Development. She is a senior researcher at the Department of Sanitation and Environmental Health, National School of Public Health, Oswaldo Cruz Foundation. From 2004 to 2010, she coordinated the Climate Change Adaptation team with the Centro-Clima of the Federal University of Rio de Janeiro, having worked on the Pintadas Project, which, in 2008, was awarded Seed Awards. Since 2019, she has coordinated the research project "Evaluation of the Impact on Integral Health of communities benefited by the Atmospheric Water Project", in cooperation with the Ministry of Science and Technology. For this project, she developed a methodology for evaluating the impact on the seven dimensions of health in sanitation projects, which was registered by the National Library for author rights.
