She is dedicated to research on the Nutrition and Physiology of Aquatic Organisms. Author of 135 scientific articles, and according to Scopus, she has an H index of 29. She has directed more than 55 theses at all levels. She received the state award for science and technology from Baja California in 2010. Within UABC, she obtained the Academic Merit Award in 1998 in the area of Engineering Technology and in 2009 in the area of Agricultural Sciences. She was PRESIDENT of the Mexican Association of Animal Nutrition Specialists from 2010-2012. 2017, she received the Academic Excellence Award from the Mexican Association of Animal Nutrition Specialists (AMENA). Moreover, in 2019, AMENA dedicated the congress in her name. In 2022, she received recognition from the World Aquaculture Society for her academic career. Since 2015, she has been Editor of Elsevier's Aquaculture Journal (Nutrition in Invertebrates).
Dr. Viana has a commercial pilot extrusion laboratory (LINDEAACUA) to develop formulated feeds with EXTRUTECH E325 equipment. This laboratory is unique in Latin America. During the last few years, apart from research, she has dedicated herself to providing services to the industry and national and international universities.
