Simone is a Professor at the Universidade Federal Rural de Pernambuco. Her main research interests are in biodiversity, paleontology, macroecology, paleo-biogeography, systematics, morphology, genetics and morphometrics of Ostracoda. Over the years, she has participated in several international research projects (e.g.,IODP, ANDEEP & DIVA) and she is a member of diverse national and international networks involving the extinct and extant biodiversity research. Within WoRMS, she is a member of the WoRMS Steering Committee, the chief taxonomic editor for Ostracoda and the World Ostracoda Database. She is also involved in the regional Antarctic Register and the thematic World Register of Deep-Sea Species.
