Marinara holds a master’s degree in Technology and is working on her PhD in Civil Engineering. She has always been interested in science and engineering, mostly because she is passionate about solving problems. She has published her articles in important scientific journals and international conferences as a researcher. She has experience teaching undergraduate students and believes that teaching is a perfect way to learn because the more we give, the more we have. In her free time, she loves to cook (and eat!), travel with her husband, and chat with her friends.

Professional background and credentials
Marinara has always been interested in Science and Engineering. As an undergraduate student, she realized how good at math she was when her Calculus Professor invited her to be his tutor. In college, she also won a scholarship to study abroad, where she spent one year in the U.S. studying and working in a construction laboratory at the University of Wisconsin, MI. She finished her bachelor's in Brazil, graduating with honors as the first in her class. As a person who really knows the importance of a good education, she kept studying. During her Master's in the top 3 Universities in Brazil, she won a sponsorship for her project. As soon as she won her master’s degree, she joined the same university in its PhD program, where her thesis is about applying machine learning techniques to inspect mortars and concrete using ultrasonic testing data. It is worth mentioning that her desire for spreading knowledge led her to work as a professor for undergraduate students in two private universities in São Paulo, Brazil. In addition, she is always seeking to disseminate student’s work in her work, publishing papers to the scientific community. At Omni, she aims to help people with mathematical and construction problems. But she is not restricted to that. If she knows a topic worth sharing, she goes for it. Recently, her experience as a first-time mother led her to create the “Exclusive Pumping Calculator,” which was featured on Health News.
Achievements
Marinara got a scholarship for an undergraduate exchange program in the University of Wisconsin-MI, granted by Coordination of Superior Level Staff Improvement in Brazil. She also gained sponsorship for a master project titled “Identification of concrete voids in digital images generated by ultrasonic tomography”, granted by the São Paulo Research Foundation.
Awards
Graduation with honors for the Bachelor’s degree in Civil Engineering, Federal University of Semi Arid, Caraúbas-RN, Brazil
