Nathália La Salvia

A highly motivated postdoctoral researcher who has experience in the areas of Chemistry and Chemical Engineering, with emphasis in Heterogeneous Catalysis and Kinetics (chemical reactors) with special interests on the following topics: catalytic conversion of ethanol, glycerol, and olefins. Synthesis and characterization of new mixed oxides, metals and bronzes catalysts. Currently, I am a postdoctoral scholar in Petrobras project at Universidade Federal do Rio de Janeiro (UFRJ) and I am a research collaborator at the Universidade Estadual de Campinas (Brazil - UNICAMP), where I started working after I acquired professional skills as a postdoctoral scholar at the Universidad Politécnica de Valéncia, Instituto de Tecnologia Química. Previously, I obtained my PhD in Chemical Engineering from Universidade Estadual de Campinas in March of 2014. While obtaining my PhD, I had the opportunity to work as a visiting student at Purdue University from July to December of 2012. I also have a M.Sc. in Chemical Engineering that was obtained from the Universidade Estadual de Campinas in Aug/2010 and graduate degree in Chemistry that was obtained from the São Francisco University in Jul/2007.
