Daniel Grasseschi

Holds a Bachelors degree in Chemistry from the University of São Paulo (2010) and a Ph.D. in Chemistry from the same institution (2015), with emphasis on the synthesis and functionalization of metallic nanoparticles for application in Surface-Enhanced Raman Scattering (SERS) sensors. Conducted postdoctoral research at the Center for 2-Dimensional and Layered Materials at The Pennsylvania State University (USA, 2017) and at the Center for Advanced Research in Graphene, Nanomaterials and Nanotechnology (MackGraphe) of the Presbyterian University Mackenzie (2018). Currently serves as an Associate Professor at the Institute of Chemistry of the Federal University of Rio de Janeiro (UFRJ), working in the Department of Inorganic Chemistry, where he coordinates the SuperNano Laboratory Surface Coordination Chemistry Nanomaterials and the Multiuser Equipment Center of the IQ-UFRJ (CEMIQ).His research activities focus on inorganic and materials chemistry, emphasizing surface coordination chemistry, electrochemistry, and advanced instrumentation applied to two-dimensional materials and metallic nanoparticles. His main research interests include the synthesis, modification, and characterization of two-dimensional materials (graphene, MoS#8322;, MoSe#8322;, WS#8322;, MXenes, Mo#8322;C, and high-entropy systems); atomic functionalization and single-atom anchoring (Single-Atom Functionalization) for catalytic and electrochemical sensing applications; the development and application of scanning electrochemical cell microscopy (SECCM) and correlated high-resolution characterization techniques; electrocatalysis for hydrogen evolution and CO#8322; reduction reactions integrated with computational modeling and machine learning; and the development of nanofluids and functional materials for enhanced oil recovery (EOR) and sustainable energy systems.His scientific production includes papers in high-impact international journals, book chapters, and collaborations with research institutions in Brazil, the United States, Germany, and the United Kingdom, standing out for integrating inorganic chemistry, surface science, and nanotechnology applied to energy and sustainability.
