Universidade Federal do ABC (UFABC). Centro de Engenharia, Modelagem e Ciências Sociais Aplicadas (CECS) (Institutional affiliation from the last research proposal) Birthplace: Brazil
He holds a bachelor's degree in Physics from the University of São Paulo (1993), a master's degree in Physics from the University of São Paulo (1996), and a Ph.D. in Materials from Penn State University (2001). He did a sabbatical internship (postdoctoral) at the Wright Center for Photovoltaics Innovation and Commercialization at the University of Toledo, USA (2012/2013). From 2006 to 2017, he was a professor in the Department of Physics at the Federal University of Minas Gerais. In August 2017, he was transferred (redistributed) to the Center for Engineering, Modeling, and Applied Social Sciences (CECS) at the Federal University of ABC. He works in the field of physics and materials engineering, focusing on the synthesis and characterization of nanomaterials and thin films (carbon nanomaterials, semiconductor oxide nanoparticles, thin oxide films). He studies their applications in heterogeneous catalysis, solar energy conversion, resistive memory, and gas sensors. His characterization studies focus on optical properties (ellipsometry and Raman) and transport properties. (Source: Lattes Curriculum)

The challenges of clean electricity generation are rapidly being overcome with the advancement of renewable technologies. These renewable electrons can contribute to decarbonization processes that remain challenging in critical sectors such as transport and industry. Solid-state electrochemical reactors can convert energy-carrying molecules such as methane, hydrogen, ammonia or ethanol in…
As a part of the New Energies Research Center (NERC), a joint initiative from FAPESP and Shell, this Research Division 3 - Methane to Products (RD3) is built to grow as a world-class scientific center for research on advanced technologies for methane conversion to high-value products. In this context, RD3 addresses potentially disruptive technologies to tackle methane conversion beyond tr…
The aim of this proposal is to establish joint research activities between two centers in Brazil and the USA that have similar missions and complementary expertise. The Center for Innovative and Strategic Transformation of Alkane Resources (CISTAR) is one of the NSF Engineering Research Center. It has been formed in 2017 and its mission the development of innovative process designs for ec…
The general goal of the project this post-doc fellow will contribute is to investigate the Electrochemical Oxidative Conversion of Methane (EOCM) to C2 hydrocarbons using solid oxide reactors (SSR), similar to solid oxide fuel cells (SOFC). In principle these SSR can produce electricity while carrying out the chemical reactions. Such solid state reactors can deliver controlled amounts of …
The project Advanced synchrotron characterization of catalysts for methane conversion builds on unique capabilities available at the beamline in São Paulo that allow study of individual particles. This project combines the expertise of CISTAR and CINE to apply state-of-the art atomic level synthesis, kinetic and mechanistic measurements, characterization and theory analysis for identifica…

This postdoctoral internship is linked to the ongoing C2C project, a collaborative effort from FAPESP-CISTAR to develop advancing research in hydrocarbon processing. Amongst the topics under investigation in the C2C project, the electrochemical conversion of methane (E-OCM) is gaining attention worldwide. Industrial methods for methane conversion involve indirect routes that require the p…
