Universidade Federal de São Carlos (UFSCAR). Centro de Ciências Exatas e de Tecnologia (CCET) (Institutional affiliation from the last research proposal) Birthplace: Brazil
Adjunct professor at Universidade Federal de São Carlos (UFSCar). Graduated in Environmental Chemistry at Universidade de São Paulo (2008) and finished PhD in Inorganic Chemistry under the supervision of Prof. Henrique Toma (2013). Experienced in organometallics, catalysis, supramolecular chemistry and nanotechnology area. Mainly worked with magnetic nanoparticles, immobilization and catalysis. Has collaborated in several different areas, such as biology department (prof. Luis Eduardo Netto/2008), biotechnology and fine chemistry (prof. Leandro Andrade/2006-2013) and Max-Planck Institute (Mülheim and der Ruhr- prof. Benjamin List/ 2008-2012), mainly on immobilization of biological catalysts on magnetic nanoparticles and the design of bimetallic complexes for CO2 activation. Worked as a postdoctoral fellow in Prof. Dr. Leandro H. Andrade (2015) group and Prof. Mark Humphrey´s group at the Australian National University (2013-2014). (Source: Lattes Curriculum)

The Artificial HeROs project aims to develop copper complex mimics of the LPMO enzyme by integrating them with modified protoporphyrin IX (ModHeme) to form bimetallic complexes for dioxygen activation. The approach involves attaching copper complexes to ModHeme to position the copper center near the heme group, enhancing the synergistic interaction between the two centers for efficient di…
A complex mixture of enzymes is used for the degradation of biomass. Among these enzymes are peroxidases, laccases and Lytic Polysaccharide Monooxigenases (LPMO) to aid the oxidative cleavage of the C-C bonds of lignocellulose by the use of oxygen or hydrogen peroxide as co-substrates. Oxygen is a free oxidant present in air and should be favored over the use of peroxide, as peroxide can …
The use of enzyme mimetics as an alternative to biological catalysts arise due to the possibility of obtaining compounds with higher efficiency and stability (pH, temperature) than an enzyme. Metalloenzymes have their active sites mimicked by the use of coordination compounds as a primary coordination sphere. However, most of the bio-mimetics do not simulate the secondary coordination sph…
Cellulases are enzymes that play an important role in the degradation of cellulose, one of the main components of plant cell walls. Cellulose is a macromolecule formed by chains of glucose linked by hydrogen bonds, which makes it resistant to breakdown by both mechanical and chemical processes. However, cellulases can break these bonds, making the conversion of cellulose into glucose and …
This project is based on the idea of bio-mimetics of carboxypeptidase and nitrogenase enzymes. Nitrogenase analogues include the idea of an iron-dinitrogen cluster, which is active in the reaction of nitrogen reduction to ammonia and hydrazine. These products nowadays have an industrial importance, since ammonia is synthesized by the Haber-Bosh process at high temperatures and pressures, …
To comprehend nature it is necessary to use the same methods it uses, so the desing of an efficient catalyst should take in account the properties of the reagents and its interaction with the catalyst, as it works in the reactions of carbonates, urea and polymers formation, inspiring on the biochemical complexes that exists in reductive enzymes for CO2. The biofixation of CO2 utulizing th…
Carbon dioxide is a C1 source molecule of great interest due to its recyclability in nature. Its reduction can yield CO, formate, formaldehyde, methanol or methane, rendering low product selectivity when enzymes are not employed in the system. However, enzymes add a high aggregated value to the catalyst and most of them are cofactor dependent, hampering their employment due to the lack of…
