Biography

Nathali Machado de Lima is an accomplished researcher with ten years of experience in environmental microbiology, having worked in Brazil, the USA, and Australia. She focuses on identifying and selecting microbes that exhibit resilience to extreme conditions, exploring sustainable alternatives for environmental conservation and restoration initiatives, particularly in the agricultural sector. Nathali studies the potential of microorganisms as bioinoculants to enhance soil fertility and structure, thereby boosting plant germination and growth rates in degraded dryland systems. Her research findings contribute to the understanding of cyanobacterial biocrust communities, which are critical components of Brazil's biomes. Nathali has participated in various research projects, including carbon sequestration using phototrophic microorganisms and soil microbial community analysis in fire-prone areas of Australia. She completed her PhD in Microbiology in 2020 and has been employed at UNSW, where she is involved in several significant research initiatives.
