Júlia has been working at the Chair of International Business, Sustainability, and Society at FAU Erlangen-Nürnberg since March 2024. She holds a Bachelor’s degree in Economics and another in International Relations from the Universidade Federal do ABC (Federal University of ABC-UFABC) in São Paulo, Brazil, as well as an M.A. in Development Studies with a specialization in Sustainability from the University of Passau, Germany.

Her doctoral project is titled “Advancing bioeconomy through Non-Timber Forest Products in the Brazilian Cerrado: Integrating sustainable value chains and traditional community well-being“. In this research, she explores the intersection of agri-food commodity chains and local sustainability strategies through a political economy lens.

Apart from her interest in the field of sustainable transformation, her other areas of interest include food security studies, development theories, traditional populations in Latin America, and intellectual property rights.

She has experience working with qualitative research methods, especially case studies, focus groups, and interviews, among others.
