Universidade de São Paulo (USP). Escola de Engenharia de Lorena (EEL)  (Institutional affiliation from the last research proposal)
Birthplace: Brazil

He holds a degree in Chemical Engineering from the former Faculty of Chemical Engineering of Lorena (FAENQUIL) (1989), now the School of Engineering of Lorena (EEL-USP), a Masters degree in Polymer Science and Technology from the Federal University of Rio de Janeiro (1992), and a PhD in Polymers and Composite Materials (Polymères et Matériaux Composites) from Université Claude Bernard Lyon I (1996). He completed two postdoctoral fellowships in Lyon, France. The first, in the area of polymerization process control, was carried out at LAGEP/CPE/CNRS (1997), and the second, in the synthesis of polymers with controlled molecular architecture, at LCPP/CPE/CNRS (20052006). He was a visiting researcher at LCPP/CPE/CNRS during 20082009 (Poste Rouge). He became an Associate Professor (Livre-Docente) at the School of Engineering of Lorena (EEL-USP) in the teaching area of Polymerization Mechanisms (2010). He is currently a Full Professor at the School of Engineering of Lorena/USP.He served as Chair of the International Cooperation Committee of EEL-USP (CRInt-EEL) from 2011 to 2016. He was Head of the Department of Chemical Engineering (DEQUI) at EEL-USP in 2017. He was Vice-Director of the School of Engineering of Lorena and a full member of the University Council of USP from 2017 to 2020. He coordinated the Graduate Program Committee in Chemical Engineering (CCP-PPGEQ) from 2017 to 2020. He also chaired the Graduate Committee of EEL-USP from August 2020 to March 2021. He served as Dean (Prefeito) of the USP Lorena Campus from 2021 to 2024.He has experience in the field of Chemical Engineering, with emphasis on polymers, working mainly on the following topics: synthesis of new polymeric materials with controlled molecular architecture via controlled/living radical polymerization; emulsion and miniemulsion polymerization processes; chemical modification of natural polymers; synthesis of nanocomposites; and encapsulation processes for controlled release of active agents.
