Associate Professor at the School of Applied Mathematics FGV EMAp in Rio de Janeiro. She has experience in Optimal Control and Mathematical Biology, with an emphasis on modeling and analyzing problems linked to vector-borne diseases present in Brazil. In 2007 she obtained a degree in Mathematics from the National University of Rosario (Argentina), and in 2011 a PhD in Applied Mathematics from Ecole Polytechnique (France). In 2012 and 2013 she was a Marie Curie Postdoctoral Fellow at the Università di Padova (Italy) and the Imperial College of London (England). In 2014 she was a Postdoctoral Fellow of Excellence at IMPA. In 2018 she received the Capes/Humboldt scholarship for research stays at TU Berlin (Germany). She is a CNPq productivity fellow, associate editor of the journal ESAIM COCV: Control, Optimization and Calculus of Variations and member of the Management Committee of the National Institute of Mathematics Science and Technology (INCTMat). She has been President of the Commission on Interactions with Latin America since 2019 and Member of the Board of Directors of SBMAC since 2024. She is a representative of SBMAC at the International Council of Industrial and Applied Mathematics (ICIAM). She is interested in gender issues in Exact Sciences, in the dissemination of mathematics and in issues linked to the development of science and mathematics in Brazil and Latin America.
