Universidade Estadual Paulista (UNESP). Campus de São José do Rio Preto. Instituto de Biociências, Letras e Ciências Exatas (IBILCE) (Institutional affiliation from the last research proposal) Birthplace: Brazil
Associate Professor at São Paulo State University (UNESP), Institute of Biosciences, Languages and Exact Sciences, São José do Rio Preto campus (SJRP), where he has served since his appointment. He has been the leader of the Laboratory of Materials for Sustainability (LabMatSus) since 2014, a CNPq-certified research group that develops innovative solutions in materials science. He maintains institutional affiliations as a Full Member of the Brazilian Materials Research Society (SBPMat-Brazil-MRS) and as an Effective Associate Member-Researcher-PQ of the Brazilian Chemical Society (SBQ). He possesses extensive experience in academic management, having coordinated the Graduate Program in Chemistry at UNESP-SJRP from 2021 to 2025 and the Undergraduate Chemistry Program at the same institution from 2017 to 2020. Previously, he served as a Collaborating Professor in Transmission Electron Microscopy at the Physical Chemistry Department of UNESP-Araraquara from 2011 to 2013. His academic background includes a habilitation (livre-docência) in Inorganic Chemistry from UNESP-SJRP (2019), a Ph.D. (2011) and M.Sc. (2007) in Chemistry from UNESP, Institute of Chemistry at Araraquara. He holds a Teaching License (2005) and Bachelor's degree in Chemistry (2004) from the Federal University of São Carlos (UFSCar), where he began his academic career.He works primarily in the areas of Inorganic Chemistry and Materials Science, focusing on the synthesis and characterization of advanced materials, including metal oxide semiconductors, metal-organic frameworks, nanostructures, and composites with graphene and derivatives. His research concentrates on developing innovative sensors for detecting volatile organic compounds, with diverse applications encompassing environmental monitoring, analysis of exhaled gases in human breath, and detection of microbial activity, contributing to significant advances in the fields of health, environment, and materials.

The primary motivation of this research is to develop chemical sensors capable of detecting specific molecules produced by microorganisms (fungi and bacteria) that can be correlated with food rot, in addition to causing several diseases. However, there are few studies on the rapid detection and low detection limit of volatile organic compounds produced by microbial volatile organic compou…
Innovation in the gas sensors science and technology have great importance for the sustainable development of new materials with better performance. The research project concerns the evaluation of the use of graphene acid (GA) in the n-type (e.g., SnO2, CeO2, WO3) and p-type (e.g., CuO, Co3O4, Cr2O3) metal oxide semiconductors (MOS). The GA-MOS composites must improve the sensitivity, sel…
The research project concerns the evaluation of the use of metal catalysts (MCat) or reduced graphene oxide (RGO) in metal oxide semiconductor (MOS) in the composites MOS-MCat and MOS-RGO, respectively, to improve the sensitivity, selectivity and response time of the volatile organic compounds (VOCs) sensors. The MOS-MCat structures are obtained by deposition of MCats (e.g. Pt, Pd and Ag)…
The aim of this proposal is to test In2O3-based sensors derived from metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) through deposition with noble metals (Ag or Pt) for the detection of microbial volatile molecules. The addition of Ag induces electron transfer with In2O3 by changing the oxidation state of the metal. On the other hand, Pt acts in the activation and spill-over of analyte gases, causing cha…
The motivation for this research is the detection of specific volatile organic compounds produced by microorganisms responsible for diseases and food quality. However, there are not many studies in the literature dealing with the rapid detection and low detection limit of these volatile organic compounds produced by microorganisms (microbial volatile organic compounds, mVOCs). The proposa…
Dermatomycosis is a fungal infection of keratinized tissues that causes redness, pain, inflammation, and intense itching in the affected region. Bearing in mind that dermatomycoses are the skin diseases that most commonly affect people around the world and that although the use of antifungals minimizes the symptoms of infections, there are many uncertainties about the best therapy to be a…
The present project aims at the use of Carbon-Based Composites (CBC) from the catalytic decomposition of methane (CH4’ C + 2 H2) to be applied as gas sensors. Gas sensors are relatively simple and portable devices that can diagnose illnesses or detect contaminations in environments or food quickly and effectively. However, the great challenge is to develop sensors that work well at room t…

The motivation for this research proposal is the detection of volatile organic compounds produced by pathogenic microorganisms, known as MVOCs, responsible for many human diseases and food contamination. Despite their significance, few studies in the literature evaluate MVOC detection with both fast response times and low detection limits. This proposal aims to assess MnOx and ZnO, p-type…
This research proposal aims to promote an in-depth investigation of the structural, electronic, and chemical properties of gas-sensors based on graphene acid composites with yolk-shell cerium(IV) oxide (CeO2) and yolk-shell Pd-CeO2 nanospheres. Due to the easy conversion potential between Ce(III) and Ce(IV) oxidation states, oxygen vacancies defects can be created in the CeO2 crystal stru…
