Back to original languageAbout Ana Paula
Doctorate in Process Engineering and Polymer Engineering, I have acquired solid expertise in materials science, polymer thermodynamics, multi-scale modeling, materials characterization, and project management through my experiences in Brazil, Germany, Canada, and France.
I work at the interface between research and industrial applications to understand, predict, and optimize the behavior of polymer materials. I particularly enjoy technical challenges requiring a multidisciplinary approach, combining modeling, characterization, and performance analysis, with a strong focus on innovation, performance, and product sustainability.
Accustomed to working in international and multicultural environments, I am motivated by the development of high-value-added solutions and by collaborating with multidisciplinary teams to address the most complex industrial challenges.
