Paula Irigon has served as a full professor in the Environmental Sanitation Program at the Federal Institute of Education, Science, and Technology of Southern Rio Grande since 2008, teaching courses in materials engineering with a focus on mineral and environmental technology. In addition to her teaching responsibilities, she leads the Research Group on Waste, Construction Materials, and Silica Gel, where she conducts studies on the sol-gel process to extract silica gel from waste materials, including research on coal fly ash and glass, aiming to promote sustainable solutions in construction and material reuse. Currently, Paula is pursuing a postdoctoral research program at the University of Porto, focusing on the recycling of industrial waste, particularly coal fly ash, for the production of sustainable construction materials in collaboration with the Center for Natural Resources and Environment (CERENA). Her commitment lies in integrating research and practice to address environmental challenges, aiming for a more sustainable and promising future.
