Universidade Estadual Paulista (UNESP). Campus de Rio Claro. Centro de Estudos Ambientais (CEA) (Institutional affiliation from the last research proposal) Birthplace: Brazil
Graduate at Química Industrial from Universidade de Ribeirão Preto (1988), master's in Chemistry from Universidade de São Paulo (1994) and PhD in Science from Universidade de São Paulo (1998). He is a Permanent Researcher Level II at the Center for Environmental Studies (CEA/UNESP) and Permanent Professor at the Graduate Program in Geosciences and the Environment (Institute of Geosciences and Exact Sciences) at the Paulista State University Júlio de Mesquita Filho (IGCE/UNESP). He is titled as Visiting Research Professor by Queen's University Belfast, UK (2016). He is currently the Executive Director of the CEA / UNESP. He has experience in Chemistry (with an emphasis on Analytical and Environmental Chemistry), working mainly in the development of methods in Biogeochemistry. (Source: Lattes Curriculum)

Particle flows transported by the Amazon River and its main tributaries play a crucial role in the biogeochemical cycling of nutrients and trace elements, acting as vectors from land to sea.The lanthanide series - rare earth elements (REE), have special geochemical significance due to their shared chemical properties. Their abundance patterns in aquatic systems can thus be used to underst…
Os recursos a que se refere este Plano destinam-se ao aprimoramento da infraestrutura dos "Laboratórios de Espectrometria Atômica" e "Preparo de Amostras", melhorando sua estrutura (substituído seus aparelhos de ar-condicionado, por novos) e adquirindo materiais de consumo destinados a uma das linhas pesquisa da Unidade, que a envolve a utilização de traçadores químicos em processos hidro…
This project aims to start a partnership between Universidade Estadual Paulista "Júlio de Mesquita Filho" / Centro de Estudos Ambientais (CEA/UNESP) and Delft University of Technology (TU Delft) through the exchange of Prof Dr Amauri Antonio Menegário e Prof Dr Robine M. de Kruijff, respectively. This partnership is based on tasks to be developed in both universities including the determi…

Technologically critical elements (TCEs), a group of essential materials in modern technologies such as electronic displays, semiconductors, energy systems, and telecommunications, remain poorly studied regarding their environmental behavior and impacts. These elements, including tellurium (Te), germanium (Ge), gallium (Ga), indium (In), niobium (Nb), and tantalum (Ta), are part of a broa…
Diffusive gradients in thin films (DGT) is a passive sampling technique that has gained relevance in the context of chemical speciation and metal fractioning in the environment due to its several features, such as the possibility of in situ measurement of labile species. Since the DGT depends on the diffusion of chemical elements through a diffusive gel towards a binding resin, deep knowl…
This Post-doctoral Research Project aims to study the occurrence and environmental distribution of cerium (Ce) in its total, dissolved, labile, and nanoparticulate forms in the aquatic environment of areas prone to contamination by rare earth elements (REEs) in the states of São Paulo and Amazonas (Brazil). The hypothesis underlying this work is that REEs and their nanoparticles, represen…
Coastal ecosystems are vulnerable to the influx and deposition of contaminating effluents driven by human activities, putting an entire ecological niche at risk, as well as the health of this biota. This fact is even more concerning in cases where potential environmental contaminants are not regulated by physiological processes, particularly for marine tetrapods, accumulating in their org…
The issue associated with contamination and availability of mercury has been shown to be very significant for the quality of marine ecosystems and the health of aquatic organisms. This cause-and-effect relationship can be gauged mainly in chain top organisms arising from bioaccumulation by the food web, which in turn tends to relate to the biomagnification of toxic effects. However, resea…
Technology Critical Elements (TCE) are been used in large scale by emerging technologies to increase the products' functionality as in the department of the electronics industry, which massively produces cell phones, televisions and computers. These chemical elements present in the devices are discharged in aquatic environments due to the release of residual effluents from industrial proc…
