  • Biography

    Ana Cameirão is a professor on chemical engineering at Mines Saint-Etienne. She teaches flowsheeting and dimensioning of plants together with turbulent flow and CFD. She is the head of the Process Envionment and Georessorces department and researcher on industrial crystallization. Her main achievements are in the field of flow assurance in understanding the crystallization and agglomeration kinetics of methane hydrates and transport of the hydrates suspension. She is the coordinator of an international research program in Flow assurance with Colorado School of Mines (EUA) and Universidade Tecnologica Federal do Parana (Brazil). She was during 8 years the coordinator of the chemical engineering program at Mines Saint-Etienne. She is now the coordinator of a program for students from enterprises in energetics at ISTP. Her mother language is Portuguese and since 2010 she is the Brazilian referee for Mines Saint-Etienne responsible fo the signature of several agreements and double diploma between Mines Saint-Etienne and Brazilian universities. Currently she coordonates a BRAFITEC for the IMT (Institut Mines Telecom) from in the total 6 Brafitec coordinated since 2010. She is also very interested in creativity and innovative pedagogy, she participates to the Dynamo Days since the beginning of this program and next year will propose a Toolbox on chemical engineering with an escape game. She is very concerned with the quality of life at work and gender equality, and is a member of the equality commission of the school and quality at work commission at SPIN center.
