Bruna R. F. Oliveira is an environmental engineer and technologist bridging soil sciences, ecosystem fluxes, and remote sensing to pioneer nature-based solutions for ecosystem restoration and climate resilience. Holding a PhD in Environmental Technology from Wageningen University (2017) and an MSc in Environmental Engineering from the University of Aveiro (2009)—Portugal's top-ranked program. With 20 peer-reviewed publications, PhD/MSc/BSc/internship supervisions, and collaborations from Max-Planck Institute to ICNF managers, Bruna transforms scientific data into climate-resilient strategies for vulnerable ecosystems.
