Doctor and Master in Sciences from the Postgraduate Program in Engineering and Materials Science at the University of São Paulo (USP-FZEA) with an exchange period in Switzerland, at the Materials Research Laboratories - Empa. Graduated with a Chemical Degree from the Federal University of São Carlos (UFSCAR - Campus Araras). Technician in Chemistry at the Paula Souza State Technological School Center. I developed research in biopolymers and biodegradable polymers (PHB, starch, chitosan, cellulose, and other polysaccharides), the study of the structure-properties-application of materials, microencapsulation, polymer processing, controlled release materials, and related areas of chemistry, engineering, and sciences of materials. I was a FAPESP fellow during my doctorate and a CAPES fellow during my master's degree with research in ferti-releasing biopolymers. During graduation, I was a FAPESP fellow, developing research on conductive polymers at the Laboratory of Polymeric Materials and Biosorbents (UFSCar - Araras). I participated in the Science without Borders program, by CNPq, Canada/CBIE (2012/13 - Algoma University, Sault Ste Marie - Ontario). Intern and research assistant on lipids and the chemical characterization of cutins from Camelina sativa. CAPES scholarship by PIBID between 2010 and 2012, developing activities that provided improvements in teaching and learning in public schools. (Source: Lattes Curriculum)

Controlled-Release Fertilizer (CRF) research has grown in recent decades due to the innumerable advantages to Agriculture, such as increasing the efficiency of fertilizer use, providing regular and continuous level for plant nutrition over time. However, the use of non-biodegradable polymers as matrix to cover and encapsulate CRF has been debated because of the residue generated. The use …
Conductive materials based on intrinsic conducting polymers (CP) and elastomers (EL) have attracted much attention due to electrical and mechanical properties presented. These elastomers have several applications such as electromagnetic interference radiation, static dissipation and pressure sensors. The low density of the CP combining with the possibility of modeling the electrical condu…
Programmable fertilizer has been intensively studied in the last decades to deliver nutrients in a regular and continuous way to plants. Parallel to these efforts, cellulose-based materials have attracted attention. There is a wide number of recent works involving the development of materials containing cellulose nanoparticles (CNs). CNs have hydroxyl groups on its surface with great pote…
