Diego Beltrame Pereira

In 2021, he began his undergraduate studies in Chemistry with a Technological Emphasis in Materials at the Institute of Chemistry of São Carlos (IQSC), University of São Paulo (USP), and is currently in the 9th and final semester of the program. He is currently developing a Scientific Initiation project entitled "Synthesis of bio-based polyurethanes with simultaneous film formation: incorporation of SiO2 nanoparticles and mats obtained via solution blow spinning to enhance film properties", funded by the São Paulo Research Foundation (FAPESP) and supervised by Prof. Dr. Elisabete Frollini, coordinator of the Macromolecular Materials and Lignocellulosic Fibers Group.He has a strong interest in the development of novel materials from renewable sources, aligned with the principles of the circular bioeconomy. Previously, he was a PIBIC/CNPq scholarship holder in a related research project under the same supervision. In the context of university extension, he has sought to expand his multidisciplinary training with a focus on research and teaching, having been a member of the IQSC Jr. student enterprise and a teaching assistant in the General Chemistry Laboratory course, providing theoretical and experimental support to first-year students through a scholarship from the Undergraduate Teaching Support Program (PEEG), aimed at enhancing teaching practice.
