Carlos Alberto Pérez

Dr. Carlos A. Pérez is currently a researcher at the Carnaúba group of LNLS-CNPEM, which operates the Carnaúba (Coherent X-ray Nanoprobe) beamline of LNLS-Sirius. His main areas of expertise are atomic and molecular physics and synchrotron radiation, with emphasis on X-ray Fluorescence (XRF) analysis, X-ray Absorption Spectroscopy (XAS), and X-ray Imaging techniques. His current research interests include studies of trace elements in biological materials, biogeochemistry of trace elements of environmental importance, and environmental toxicology with a focus on potential mechanisms of remediation of affected environments, and nanotoxicology. Additional research topics include analysis and modeling of depth profiles of magnetic dopants in semiconductor oxide thin films and structural characterization of material by resonant X-ray scattering. He is currently a member of the research team of the National Institute of Science and Technology in Nanotechnology for Sustainable Agriculture (INCT-NanoAgro). He was a member of the organizing committee of several editions of the Latin American Congress of X-ray Techniques (SARX), has coordinated the 2010 edition of the LNLS Annual Users Meeting (RAU 2010 - https://pages.cnpem.br/rau/2010/09/) and in 2011 has coordinated the international congress ICXOM21 (International Congress on X-ray Optics and Microanalysis) held in Campinas-SP (Brazil). In 2019, he coordinated the satellite workshop at the 29th RAU NanoAHES (Nanomaterials Applied to Health and Environmental Sciences-https://pages.cnpem.br/rau/satellite-nanoahes-29th-rau/). He was a member of the academic organizing committee of the São Paulo SPAS NanoAgriEnviro school in 2023 (https://pages.cnpem.br/spsasnano/). He also coordinated several editions of the AgroEnviro workshop held at CNPEM (https://pages.cnpem.br/agroenviro/). (Source: Lattes Curriculum)
