Dalva Ester da Costa Ferreira is a Brazilian researcher and teacher who began her academic career at the Federal University of the Vales do Jequitinhonha e Mucuri (UFVJM) and is currently on a temporary position at the Federal University of Minas Gerais (UFMG). Her research primarily focuses on the use of Computational Chemistry tools to study and understand chemical processes at the molecular level. By modeling and simulating of reactions and structures, it is possible to uncover reaction mechanisms and molecular properties. Among the computational methods employed is the Density Functional Theory (DFT). This fundamental technique enables the calculation of the electronic properties of molecules. In her research, it can cite as an example the use of DFT for conformational analysis, exploring the various shapes and stability of molecules, as well as for simulating mimetic models of enzymatic reactions of phosphate hydrolysis.
