Chemical Engineer graduated from the Federal University of Uberlândia, with international experience gained during an academic exchange at INSA Rouen Normandie, France. Completed a master's degree in Chemical Engineering at the State University of Campinas, during which he undertook an internship at the Department of Chemical and Biological Engineering at the University of Ottawa, Canada. Holds a Ph.D. in Sciences from the Graduate Program in Materials Engineering at the Lorena School of Engineering, USP (2017). Has expertise in the in situ synthesis of clay-reinforced polymeric nanocomposites, employing techniques such as radical polymerization in dispersed media (miniemulsion and emulsion polymerizations), controlled radical polymerization (RAFT), and solution adsorption. Also has teaching experience, having worked as a professor in the undergraduate Chemical Engineering program at the Centro Universitário de Formiga and as a collaborating professor in postgraduate courses at the Faculty of Engineering in Sorocaba. Currently, conducting postdoctoral research at Embrapa Instrumentação (São Carlos/SP), focusing on the reuse of by-products from fruit processing for the production of bioplastic films intended for food packaging.

The growing world population and the changes in dietary behavior (promoted by the increasing concerns on food-health relationships) have caused an increasing fruit consumption. Since most fruits are highly perishable (especially when in tropical conditions), a high proportion of them is processed into products with an extended shelf life, generating a great amount of waste and by-products…
In recent years, the incorporation of inorganic nanoparticles in a polymer matrix to produce hybrid materials with enhanced properties has received great attention from both academia and industry. Preserve and control the physicochemical properties of these nanoparticles are essential to maintain their integrity in nanoscale and ensure their uniform dispersion in the organic matrix so the…
In this work the synthesis of polymeric nanocomposites using HDL by in situ polymerization in miniemulsion will be investigated. Different kinds of clays will be used, in different concentration and compositions, in order to provide polymers with some desired properties. Properties of the nanocomposites will be analysed using several pieces of equipment, such as DSC, MEV, RAMAN, FTIR, et…
Bioplastic films derived from fruit-processing by-products present a sustainable alternative to conventional plastics. However, these materials often exhibit poor water interaction properties, limiting their efficacy in applications such as food packaging. To address this challenge, this research project aims to utilize tannins extracted from fruit-processing by-products to improve the wa…
