Maria do Carmo Estanislau do Amaral[note 1][citation needed] (born 1959) is a Brazilian botanist, biologist, curator, and academic.,[2][3] who has worked, since 2011, on teaching and research in the Department of Biology, Universidad Estatal de Campinas.[4]
Biography
[edit]In 1980, she obtained a Bachelor of Biological Sciences from the University of São Paulo, and in 1985, a Master in Biological Sciences (Botany) from the same institution, defending the thesis supervised by Dr. Antonio Salatino, Epicuticular wax of aquatic plants. In 1990, she obtained a PhD in Natural Sciences from the Universität Hamburg, Germany.[5]
Since 1993 she has been a professor at the Universidad Estatal de Campinas. She works in botany, with an emphasis on seed plant taxonomy, researching the following topics: phylogenetic systematics, macromolecular systematics, interactive multiple access keys, Ochnaceae, Commelinaceae, Orchidaceae, aquatic plants, and the flora of São Paulo.
In 2012, she worked on post-doctorate research at the Universität Zürich, with a grant from the Fundação de Amparo à Pesquisa do Estado de São Paulo, FAPESP, Brazil.[4]
