Leonnam Gotardo Merizio

PhD in Sciences from the Chemistry Institute of the University of São Paulo (IQ - USP) (2019) at the f-Block Elements Laboratory (Leb-f, IQ-USP), under the supervision of prof. Dr. Hermi F. Brito and co-supervision of prof. Dr. Lucas C.V. Rodrigues, developing the Sr2MgSi2O7:Eu2+,TR3+ Material Design project with efficient persistent luminescence: effects of electronic structure and synthesis methodology; Bachelor's Degree in Chemistry from the Federal University of Espírito Santo (UFES) (2014); He has knowledge in the area of Advanced Nanostructured and Ceramic Materials based on Rare Earths, Persistent Luminescence, Scintillation, Upconversion, Lanthanide Spectroscopy and plasmonic effect of gold nanoparticles. He has experience in synchrotron radiation interaction with matter, developing research in collaboration with the National Synchrotron Light Laboratory (LNLS/Sirius - CNPEM), with knowledge in techniques such as VUV, XANES, EXAFS and XEOL spectroscopy. He is currently developing post-doctoral research on the topic Luminescent materials incorporated into glass: New composites for applications in security lighting and radiation detectors under the supervision of prof. Dr. Andrea S.S. de Camargo at the São Carlos Institute of Physics (IFSC - USP) working at the Functional Materials Spectroscopy Laboratory (LEMAF IFSC-USP) linked to the Center for Research, Technology and Education in Vitreous Materials (CeRTEV/CEPID-FAPESP ). He collaborates with researchers from IFSC - USP, IQ - USP, LNLS/Sirius - CNPEM, Mackenzie Presbyterian University and at the University of Turku. (Source: Lattes Curriculum)
