Professor Dr. Luiz Gonçalves Neto is a pioneer in the development and manufacturing of diffractive optical elements, spatial filtering in infrared lenses for security systems based on Fourier Optics, and electronic circuits that exhibit chaotic behavior. Since 2010, he has been the Director of FIPAI - Foundation for the Increment of Research and Industrial Development, located in São Carlos - SP. He graduated in Electrical Engineering from the School of Engineering of São Carlos - EESC - University of São Paulo - USP in December 1985. In 1986 and 1987, he worked on the Fuel Cell Development Project with the Institute of Chemistry of São Carlos - IQSC - USP. In 1990, he received a Master's degree in Applied Physics from the Institute of Physics of São Carlos - IFSC - USP, where he developed electronic circuits for the study of chaotic behavior. The circuit proposed in his master's thesis, "The Electronic Bouncing Ball," is used as an experiment in nonlinear dynamics in the Physics 111 Advanced Applied Laboratory course at the Department of Physics at the University of California, Berkeley. This laboratory brings together the main experiments that describe the state of the art of experimental physics. In 1996, Luiz received a Ph.D. in Philosophy from Université Laval, Centre d'Optique, Photonique et Laser - COPL, Quebec, Canada, where he developed the work "Optical real-time holograms using liquid crystal television and computer iterative design." In February 1996, he joined the Laboratory of Integrable Systems (LSI) at the Polytechnic School of USP as a Postdoctoral researcher. He coordinated the implementation of the Optics Laboratory and also worked as a researcher and accredited teacher in the master's and doctoral programs of the Department of Electronic Engineering at EPUSP. Later, from August 1997 to April 2023, he worked as a Professor at the Department of Electrical Engineering of EESC - USP. In 2002, he received the title of Associate Professor at the same institution, and in 2012, he became Associate Professor III. Professor Dr. Luiz Gonçalves Neto's research in optics covers various areas, such as optoelectronics, computer-generated holograms, spatial light modulators, diffractive optics, optical interconnections, optical image and signal processing, pattern and shape recognition, image cryptography, and infrared optical sensors. His works are cited in more than 60 international patents. He acts as an optics consultant for industries and project funding agencies. He has a successful track record in transferring research results to industry. In recognition of his excellence, in November 1999, he received a $100,000 award from Motorola do Brasil as the winner of the Mission XXI competition. In July 2000 and 2002, he was the winner of the DOMO Diffractive Optics Beauty Contest, promoted by the Optical Society of America. In October 2002, he won the Tenth Edition of the ParqTec Technology Award, with the development work in conjunction with Eletroppar - PPA Group, "New Infrared Motion Detection Sensors for Home and Corporate Security Applications." The Rector of the University of São Paulo, Prof. Dr. Jacques Marcovitch, highlighted the researcher's work in exact sciences on the presentation page of the USP Statistical Yearbook for the year 2000. Professor Dr. Luiz Gonçalves Neto is a member of the Optical Society of America (OSA), and in 2004, he was invited to join the Board of Editors of the journal Applied Optics - OSA. In addition, your research in optics, including areas such as optoelectronics, computer-generated holograms, spatial light modulators, diffractive optics, optical interconnections, optical image and signal processing, shape and pattern recognition, image encryption, and infrared optical sensors, has received over 1154 citations, resulting in an h-index of 19.

The global objective of this proposal is the partial development of the several components of complete PEFCs, which in a subsequent stage should be integrated for the development of prototypes of operational plants. These objectives can be grouped in four main research lines: (1) Development, characterization and tests of catalysts for the reforming of alcohols and the purification of the…
