I am a Professor in the Department of Astromony  at Universidade de Sao Paulo. My research group studies gas dynamics and high energy  phenomena in a wide variety of astrophysical systems: from the Sun to clusters of galaxies, mainly employing  numerical magneto-hydrodynamics (MHD) methods. For this aim we use sophisticated numerical algorithms to carry out multi-dimensional  simulations of astrophysical sources and diffuse media in high performance computing. 
 

Sou vencedora da 22ª Edição do Prêmio Cláudia de 2017, na categoria MULHERES NA CIÊNCIA!!   I am the winner of the 22nd Edition of the Cláudia Award 2017, in the category WOMEN IN SCIENCE!
