Kelly Lima de Oliveira is a chemist with a master’s degree in applied physical sciences and a doctorate in biotechnology from the State University of Ceará (UECE), Brazil. She has experience in environmental sciences, working mainly on renewable energies, the environment, atmospheric pollution, catalytic combustion, effluent treatment and environmental chemistry. During her master’s degree, she studied the catalytic combustion of liquefied petroleum gas in a porous burner containing perovskites impregnated with alumina (Al2O3). Her doctoral thesis focused on the treatment of wastewater by cultivating different species of microalgae for bioremediation and the potential production of biofuels. During her PhD (2023), she carried out a research placement at the Biomass Technology Laboratory (LTB), conducting research into the transformation of carbonaceous waste into value-added products. Kelly is currently a postdoctoral researcher at the Biomass Technology Laboratory, carrying out research into effluent treatment as part of a partner project.
