Biography
Klicia Sampaio is a professor and researcher of food engineering at the University of Campinas (Unicamp) in Campinas, Brazil. Her science research focuses on separation processes, involving biocatalysis, phase equilibrium study, vegetable oils, enzymatic degumming, food contaminants formed during the oil refining, nutraceutical compounds, exotic vegetable oils, and process control systems. Prof. Klicia Sampaio has been active in the research fields of Bioscience Engineering and Food Science and Technology.
Before joining the Unicamp in 2016 as professor, Klicia Sampaio worked as a postdoctoral researcher for two years in the Laboratory of Extraction, Applied Thermodynamics and Equilibrium (ExTrAE) at the Unicamp under the supervision of Prof. Antonio J. A. Meirelles. In addition, she worked as postdoctoral researcher for two years in the Synthesis, Bioresources and Bioorganic Chemistry Research Group (SynBioC) Research Group at the Ghent University (Belgium) under the supervision of Prof. Christian Stevens and Dr. Wim De Greyt. She obtained her Ph.D. in Food Engineering in 2011 from Unicamp through a collaboration program with Ghent University (Belgium). She received her M.Sc. degree in Food Engineering from Unicamp in 2006 and her B.Sc. degree in Food Engineering from UESB in 2003.
