Universidade de São Paulo (USP). Escola de Engenharia de São Carlos (EESC) (Institutional affiliation from the last research proposal) Birthplace: Brazil
Graduated in Bachelor of Chemistry from the University of São Paulo (2010), with a scholarship from the tutorial teaching program (PET). Performing master's degree in physical chemistry at the University of São Paulo, in São Carlos. PhD with emphasis in physical chemistry with a FAPESP scholarship at the University of São Paulo in the São Carlos campus, during which did a year of research in the Université Grenoble-Alpes in France with Prof. Dr. Mohammed Naceur Belgacem. Has experience in Chemistry with emphasis in Physical Organic Chemistry, working mainly on the following themes: chemical treatments of sugarcane bagasse, production of nanocellulose and derivatives and production of composites using materias from renewable sources. Made a Post-doctoral fellowship in the Materials Engeneering Department of the Engeneering School of São Carlos (USP), working with the production of nanocellulose composites. Currently is a Professor at the Federal University of Uberlândia (UFU), in the Institute of Exact and Natural Sciences. (Source: Lattes Curriculum)

Currently, there is a great demand for the use of sustainable materials and reactions. In this context, the use of cellulose nanocrystals as reinforcement in composite materials stands out. However, some problems related to the main method of nanocrystals production and the processes of composite materials production. The current processes to hydrolyze cellulose are carried out in high co…
The high consumption of liquid fuels and the environmental awareness require the production of renewable fuels at very high volumes. The production of 1st generation ethanol is already consolidated in our country and further increases in production should occur with the development of technologies for 2nd generation ethanol, yielding new mills for integral utilization of sugarcane. To be …
The replacement of inorganic fibers by lignocellulosic fibers as reinforcement in composites was leveraged with the need for "green" methods associated with the use of cheap raw materials, such as sugarcane bagasse. In this context, the use of small amounts of nanocellulose allows a great improvement in the mechanical properties of the composites. This project aims to produce nanocellulos…
