Hello! I am Gisela Ferreira! I am a graduate student at the University of Maryland Baltimore County (UMBC), doing a Ph.D. in Chemical and Biochemical Engineering. In this Homepage, you will get to know a little bit more about me. Here is some information about my...

• home country of Portugal
• previous college - School of Biotechnology - Portuguese Catholic University
• current research - Production of a Protease by a Shipworm Bacterium - through the Department of Chemical and Biochemical Engineering at UMBC, in collaboration with Sanjeev Kumar Ahuja, under the supervision of Dr. Antonio Moreira and co-supervision of Dr. Michael Sierks.

If you would like to know a little bit about my family, friends and other links that I find interesting, then click the photo!

This Homepage is the result of an assignment for the course ENCH772, in the Department of Chemical and Biochemical Engineering, UMBC. I would like to thank professor Mark Marten for helping us learn something that I thought before was "out of this World"! You will also be able to follow the project associated with the class - Review on fed-batch fermentation - mathematical modelling, parameters and control.

If you would like to give some input to this project or to the Homepage in general, fill out the form that I prepared for that purpose.
