Graduated in Chemical Engineering from the University of São Paulo (1981), Master in Chemical Engineering from the University of São Paulo (1986), Doctor in Sciences Naturelles Appliquées from the Université Catholique de Louvain, Belgium (1991), and Lecturer at the Polytechnic School of the University of São Paulo (2008). He is currently Associate Professor (MS5-3) at the Polytechnic School of the University of São Paulo (Department of Metallurgical and Materials Engineering). I have experience in Materials Science and Engineering (with emphasis on Clay Science and Technology), working mainly on the following topics: development of Brazilian clays (kaolins, smectites, vermiculite, palygorskites) and foreign clays (smectites, sepiolites) for various industrial applications; production and characterization of nano-structured materials based on clay minerals; synthesis, development and characterization of non-metallic raw materials (in particular natural silicates, aluminum hydroxides and oxides); development of materials for Civil Construction; development of applications for industrial and mineral wastes.

The increasing human concentration in urban environments and the consequent necessity of building the infrastructures of the cities makes Civil Construction today responsible for most of the raw materials extracted worldwide. Such infrastructures require intensive use of concrete, and construction waste, consisting largely of cementitious materials, is commonly disposed in landfills. The …
The main objective of this project is the study of the rheological properties of composites materiais, either polymer blends or polymer clay nanocomposites aiming at a) developing tools that could be used to infer information about the morphology and microstructure of these materiais (studying the rheological behavior of these materiais in the linear viscoelastic regime) b) generate infor…
