Leonardo Jose Duarte

Leonardo Duarte holds a PhD in Chemistry from the University of Campinas (UNICAMP, 2023), where he defended the thesis "Chemistry of Molecular Vibrations", and completed a postdoctoral research within the Applied Computational Chemistry Group at the University of São Paulo (USP). His academic trajectory includes positions as a visiting researcher at the University of Manchester (UK, 2019) and the University of Coimbra (Portugal, 2024). Specializing in Physical Chemistry and Theoretical Chemistry, his research focuses on the study of infrared induced reactions, the development of models for Intramolecular Vibrational Energy Redistribution (IVR), and the Quantum Theory of Atoms in Molecules (QTAIM). He works in collaboration with leading groups in cryospectroscopy and molecular modeling, exploring topics such as quantum tunneling, chemometrics, and molecular dynamics applied to complex chemical systems.
