Post-Doctorate from the Federal University of ABC. I have experience in research in the field of Electrochemistry, working mainly in the following subjects: Direct Ethanol Fuel Cell, electro-oxidation of small organic molecules, oxygen reduction reaction, synthesis of platinum nanoparticles and other metallic elements dispersed in carbon monocrystals of platinum and rhodium, using in addition to basic electrochemical techniques, Infrared Spectroscopy analysis with Fourrier Transform in situ, Differential Electrochemical Mass Spectroscopy on line. Knowledge in Transmission Electron Microscopy and in Basic Crystallography and Rietveld Method and Low Miller Surfaces, as well as characterization techniques of materials such as Thermogravimetry, TG, Exploratory Differential Calorimetry, DSC and also X-ray Diffraction, XRD.I was a teacher and coordinator in the Integrated Colleges of Três Lagoas. Instructor of the technical course of Paper and Cellulose in Senai-MS / Três Lagoas. I also served as a substitute teacher at the Federal University of Mato Grosso do Sul - Três Lagoas Campus.In the industrial area, I worked as Senior Quality Analyst at Metalfrio Solutions S / A, being responsible for the control of polyurethane processes, quality analysis and physical-chemical analyzes of raw material, as well as inspection of finished products. Currently, I am a technical analyst at the Senai Institute of Biomass Innovation, developing activities applied to research in biotechnology and energy. (Source: Lattes Curriculum)
