Life Sciences
Biologist Cecilia Siliansky de Andreazzi graduated from the Federal University of Rio de Janeiro and earned a master’s degree in ecology. She holds a doctorate from the University of São Paulo, with a sandwich period at the Swiss Federal Institute of Aquatic Science and Technology. Her specialty is relating the microscopic world to the macro landscape. Fascinated by biodiversity, she studies changes in the landscape to find the factors that influence parasites to jump out and infect new hosts. She uses complex network tools and artificial intelligence to model likely scenarios. She is a researcher at the Oswaldo Cruz Foundation in Rio de Janeiro. Her love of nature extends beyond her work, and she enjoys hiking and exploring the wilderness in her spare time.
