Maria Vitória Morais is a PhD candidate in Civil Engineering at the University of Beira Interior (UBI), Portugal, since September 2022, specializing in wastewater treatment using geotextile filters. In 2024, she completed her Master’s degree in Civil Engineering at the same institution (UBI), focusing on Geotechnics and Environment (classification: 16/20). In 2019, she made her Bachelor's degree in Civil Engineering from Centro Universitário Christus, Brazil, where she studied biofilm formation on concrete structures, and her degree was recognized by UBI (classification: 14/20). Throughout her professional career, she has been deeply involved in infrastructure projects, working on the construction and implementation of water supply networks, stormwater and sanitary drainage systems, wastewater treatment plants, and other essential projects. She is currently working in construction supervision. Since 2016, she has been engaged in research related to geotechnics and the environment. During her undergraduate studies, she was part of a research group in Geotechnics, where she investigated changes in the behavior of foundation soils and the behavior of expansive soils in slopes and dams. She has taught the course "Determination of Physical and Chemical Characteristics of Water" in the "EcoAqua: Nature-Based Approaches for Urban Water Management" program at the University of Beira Interior. She is currently a member of GeoBioTec (Geobiosciences, Geoengineering, and Geotechnologies Research Unit), the International Geosynthetics Society (IGS), the International Association of Hydrogeologists (IAH), the Deep Foundations Institute (DFI), the Portuguese Order of Engineers, and the Regional Council of Engineering and Agronomy of Ceará (CREA-CE). Throughout her academic career, she has received two honorable mentions from Centro Universitário Christus for the best paper/abstract presented at events. In 2019, she was also recognized by the Regional Council of Engineering and Agronomy of Ceará (CREA-CE) for having one of the top five dissertations presented in Ceará, Brazil. Additionally, she received an ISSMGE Foundation award to participate in the 9th International Congress on Environmental Geotechnics. During her PhD, she was awarded a research grant funded by Santander Totta. She currently has 39 papers published in national and international conferences, 8 articles published in international journals, and has contributed to 11 book chapters. Additionally, she has served as a reviewer for two major conferences: the 9th International Congress on Environmental Geotechnics and the 50th Annual Conference on Deep Foundations.
