Quimi Vidaurre Montoya
I am a person passionate about life. I love discovering and learning new things and I really enjoy adventures. I like hiking, rivers, music, reading, writing, but I am a die-hard lover of carpentry. As a scientist, I am passionate about the taxonomy, sistematics and the evolutionary history of fungi
I am a smiling young mycologist. I am interested in the taxonomy and ecology of fungi, aiming to discover new species of fungi and understand their relationship with different organisms in the ecosystem
Raquel Queiroz
Master student (co-advised)
I am a person who lives for science and anf for female emancipation. Currently, I started my master’s degree in microbiology at Fungal Ecology and Systematics Laboratory (Unesp in Rio Claro), and I seek to contribute to the advancement of knowledge
Gabriela Coelho de Moraes Barttuciotto (Scientific initiation student)
I am a Biological Sciences student at Fungal Ecology and Systematics Laboratory (Unesp in Rio Claro). My current research explores the fungal diversity associated with the potter wasps, which are solitary organisms that build their nests in a very interesting way. I’m very curious, I love asking questions and understanding how everything works which I belive fits perfectly in biology
Scientific initiation student
I am a 22 years old gril, from Salto-SP. I am in the 5th year of my undergraduate in Ecology at UNESP Rio Claro. I’m passionate about music, video games and cinema, and I’m also fascinated by animals and fungi. I’m currently studying the diversity of fungi associated with paper wasps native from Brazil
Helena Barana Demiate (Former student)
I am a recent graduate in Environmental Engineering from Unesp. I like plants and being able to actively participate in a more sustainable future. Thus, the research I developed was about the biotechnological potential of yeasts associated with attine ants for possible applications as biofertilizers
Bianca Lariza (Former student)
I graduated from Unesp with a bachelor’s and a teaching degree in Biological Sciences. I was finaced by PIBIC/CNPq scholarship from 2022 to 2023 and I investigated the diversity of endophytic fungi associated with Araça (Psidium cattleianum). Currently, I work at Eurofins, Brasil, in the microbiology department for food analysis. I really enjoy Microbiology and I am planning to do a postgraduate in this area
