ABBRIDGED RESUMÉ
EDUCATION & TRAINING
She has Bachelor degree in Physics, Master
in Astronomy, and Ph.D. in Astronomy from the University of São Paulo. She did
a post-doctoral research at the Harvard-Smithsonian Center for Astrophysics (CfA – University of Harvard, 1990-1992) and was a visiting
scholar at the Astronomy Department of the University of California – Berkeley
(1998-1999). She was awarded an associate researcher position at the Abdus Salam International Centre for Theoretical Physics in
Trieste, Italy (1994-2001). She also
made short term visits to the Universities of Princeton (USA, 1997), Pisa
(Italy, 2004, 2005), and the Observatories of Nice (France, 1998), Torino (1993),
Arcetri ( 2001, 2004 ) and
Bologna (Italy, 2007). Currently, she is a regular visiting scholar at the
University of Wisconsin – Madison (USA, since 2003) and Universidad Autónoma de Mexico.Wisconsin
(USA, since 2002).
PROFESSIONAL
POSITIONS
She
has been an Associate-Professor at the Institute of Astronomy, Geophysics and
Atmospheric Sciences of the University of São Paulo (IAG-USP), Brazil, since
1997. Before that, she was first Assistant-Professor (1987-1989) and then
Professor (tenure, 1989-1997) at that Institution. She was the Vice-President
of Culture and Extension Committee of IAG-USP (2004-2005), President of the
Graduate Program of IAG-USP (2008-2009), Coordinator of the Graduate Program of
the Astronomy Department of IAG-USP (2005-2010), and is presently member elected
of the Interstellar Matter Division Committee of the International Astronomical
Union (IAU) (2006- ). She is also a member of the Brazilian (1982-) and
American Astronomical (1992-) Societies, Reviewer for the Italian
Super-Computing Resource Allocation (ISCRA, 2010-), and Coordinator of the
SUPER-CLUSTER SGI Altix ICE 8400 LX
of the Astronomy Department of IAG-USP (FAPESP project, 2009-).
RESEARCH INTERESTS
Her expertise is in
High Energy Astrophysics and Plasma Astrophysics, with emphasis on Theoretical
and Numerical Astrophysics. Her major contributions include formulating and
testing numerically theories of: (a)
Astrophysical Jets and Outflows from Stars and Galaxies and their
interaction with the space environment; b) star formation and supernovae
feedback on the evolution of a galaxy and its environment; b) cosmic ray
acceleration and propagation and gamma ray bursts origin – the more mysterious
and energetic phenomena in the Universe; and c) origin of cosmic magnetic
fields both in sources, like the Sun, and in turbulent diffuse media, like the
interstellar medium and the intergalactic medium.
RESEARCH
PROJECTS ORGANIZATION AND DIRECTION
She is the Coordinator of the FAPESP
Thematic Project on Investigation of High
Energy and Plasma Astrophysics Phenomena: Theory, Observation, and Numerical
Simulations (2006-2011). She is
also the Coordinator of the FAPESP Multi-user Project for Super-Cluster acquisition
for high computational performance for the Astronomy (2009-2012). She is a
member of the JETSET – Marie Curie European Research and Training Network on
Jet Simulations (2006- ), and is involved in the GEMINI/NICI extrasolar planet finding campaign (2008-). She is MoU
(collaborator) of the cosmological PLANCK SATELLITE CONSORSIUM (2009-) and PI of the Brazilian-French (USP/COFECUB) Mission for
cosmology and cosmic magnetic field survey (2008-). She is also a PI of the
