Universidade Estadual de Campinas (UNICAMP). Faculdade de Engenharia Química (FEQ) (Institutional affiliation from the last research proposal) Birthplace: Brazil
Chemical Engineer with BS, MS, and DSc degrees from UNICAMP. Today he is an Assistant Professor (MS-3.1) at UNICAMP, in the area of #8203;#8203;Sustainable Sciences and Processes of the Department of Process Engineering (DEPro) of the School of Chemical Engineering (FEQ). His line of research is around renewable energy and chemicals. He has experience in modeling, simulation, techno-economic analysis and life cycle assessment of biorefineries, renewable chemicals and biofuels. He also has experience with modeling, simulation and testing of batteries. Before becoming a professor at UNICAMP, he carried out the following activities: four Junior Undergraduate Research Projects in the area of #8203;#8203;mathematics during primary and secondary education, two Undergraduate Research Projects during his BS degree in Chemical Engineering, an internship in RD at Desmet Ballestra (Belgium), a student exchange at KU Leuven (Belgium) studying in the "Master of Chemical Engineering" program with a CNPq scholarship, an internship in engineering and process simulation at LNBR/CNPEM working on a project in partnership with Embrapa Agroenergia and a post-doctorate working with the assessment of biofuel production in emerging markets and supporting the activities of FAPESP's Bioenergy Research Program (BIOEN) in its tasks at IEA Bioenergy.

Butyric acid is a chemical of great industrial interest, used in the production of solvents, polymers, and fragrances. However, its biotechnological production faces challenges such as low yields and high recovery costs. Traditional neutralization during the fermentation process generates gypsum as a byproduct, while more sustainable alternatives can contribute to eliminating this waste a…
The transition to a low-carbon economy requires replacing fossil raw materials with renewable resources, such as those derived from biomass. Within this context, furfural, a heterocyclic aldehyde obtained from hemicellulose-rich biomass, emerges as a key product in renewable chemicals. Its versatility allows applications in resins, solvents, biopolymers, and biofuels, promoting sustainabi…
The climate crisis demands more sustainable solutions to replace the demand for fossil fuels. In this context, soybean oil emerges as a great ally as it is the raw material for biodiesel and green diesel (HVO). However, one of the process options for extracting oil from soybeans uses hexane, a non-renewable solvent. In order to guarantee a more sustainable process, this undergraduate proj…
Electricity will move from 18 to 50% of the worldwide matrix and renewable sources of energy are expected to quadruplicate by 2050, but CO2 emissions are also expected to be half of today's value. In this scenario it is imperative to build novel solutions for energy storage still unavailable today that can cope with the predicted demands. Among the existent technologies in batteries, the …
Ethyl levulinate is a derivative of levulinic acid with potential to be used in the near future as a diesel additive because of its unique characteristics. Produced exclusively from renewable origins, ethyl levulinate is the product of the esterification of ethanol with levulinic acid, being the later obtained from hydrolysis of biomass rich in cellulose. However, the large scale producti…
