Mônica Freitas da Silva

Bachelors degree in Technological Chemistry from the São Paulo State University (UNESP), with undergraduate research in electrochemistry conducted from 2006 to 2010. Masters and Doctor's Degree in Sciences from the University of São Paulo (USP), with research focused on surface engineering of magnetic nanoparticles for biomedical applications, developed within the Colloidal Materials Group. The masters project addressed coating with macromolecules for stabilization and compatibility in physiological media; the Doctoral focused on the encapsulation and surface ligand control of biocompatibilized magnetic nanoparticles for biomedical purposes.From 2017 to 2022, worked at UNESP as the professional responsible for the operation of the transmission electron microscope (TEM), supporting the scientific community both within the university and from external institutions. In 2021, began a postdoctoral fellowship at USP with the project Surface engineering of magnetic nanoparticles with silane-thiol molecules: a study by Transmission Electron Microscopy, completed in 2022. Subsequently, continued research at the same institution with a second postdoctoral project titled Surface engineering of magnetite magnetic nanoparticles: addition of ligands for the study of colloidal stability and Transmission Electron Microscopy.Currently, in addition to conducting research in the field of colloidal materials, serves as the technician in charge of operating the Transmission Electron Microscope at the Institute of Chemistry of São Carlos (USP), providing specialized support to the scientific community.
