Biography

Chemist with a Bachelor's, Teaching Degree, and Industrial Chemistry degree, as well as a Master's in Chemistry with an emphasis on Catalysis, from the University of Brasília (UnB). Ph.D. in Chemistry from Université de Lille, France (PEARL i-site/Marie Skłodowska-Curie Actions). Specialist in advanced catalytic biomass valorization, with over 10 years of experience in heterogeneous catalysis, catalyst development, and reaction engineering. Extensive expertise in preparing and characterizing catalysts (spectroscopic, morphological, and thermal techniques) and applying them in biomass fractionation, hydrolysis, esterification, dehydration, polymerization, photodegradation, and lignin depolymerization. Published author in international journals and recognized for contributions to scientific dissemination and innovation. Currently a Postdoctoral Researcher and Industrial Technological Development Fellow (CNPq - Brazil), committed to advancing sustainable technologies and catalysis.
