Camilloni received a BA in meteorology from the University of Buenos Aires in 1987. In 1996 she completed her doctorate at the same university, specializing in Atmospheric Sciences.

Career

Camilloni's work addresses climate change in Argentina and at the regional level, evaluating climate models and developing climate scenarios. In 2008 she was one of the scientists working a scientific and technical report on the contamination produced by pulp mills by the Uruguay river, where Camilloni contributed to the chapter of air quality. In 2012 she participated in the creation of another technical report focused on climate change in the city of Buenos Aires, based on observed meteorological data and simulations of global climate change models.
One of her research works studies the hydrological impacts of the management of solar radiation in the La Plata basin.
In 2016, together with Vicente Barros, she published an outreach book titled La Argentina y el cambio climático. De la física a la política edited by the EUDEBA publishing house.
Camilloni is one of the authors of the IPCC special report on global warming of 1.5 degrees, where she was the only Argentine scientist invited. She participated in the fourth, fifth and sixth assessment reports of the IPCC.
Camilloni has also participated in talks that address gender perspectives in science, and has given interviews on the role of women in the scientific career.
