Janaina Soares Santos

Janaina graduated in Chemistry at Federal University of Sao Carlos (UFSCar, Sao Carlos, Brazil) obtaining both Bachelors (2005) and Licentiate (2007) degrees. She concluded the Masters degree in Chemistry in 2007 and obtained her Ph.D. in 2012 studying the dielectric breakdown phenomena of the anodic oxide films. She acted in the fields of Chemistry, Materials Science, and Chemical Engineering developing research and teaching activities. After postdoctoral stages in 2012-2014 at the National Institute of Space Research (Sao Jose dos Campos, Brazil) and Federal University of Alfenas (Alfenas, Brazil), she returned to UFSCar (Sorocaba, Brazil) as a postdoctoral researcher (2014-2017), where she also served as university lecturer (2017-2019) and visiting researcher (2019-2020). During this period, she taught General Chemistry, Inorganic Chemistry and Physics-Chemistry disciplines to students from Chemistry, Physics, Mathematics, Biology, and Forest Engineering courses, and supervised undergraduate and graduate students. She also worked at the Center of Excellence on Catalysis and Catalytic Reaction Engineering from the Department of Chemical Engineering in Chulalongkorn University, Bangkok, Thailand. Her current interests include the electrochemical synthesis of anodic oxides for sensing, biomaterials, photoelectrochemical and photocatalytic applications.
