OU TSTAND I NG ED UCAT ION

• Post-Doctorate ( 2013-2014)

School of Engineering - University of Connecticut – US

C enter for Clean Energy Engineering

The objective of this work was the characterization of carbon deposits. Solid

carbon can produce nanofiber/nanotubes used as polymer additives, gas storage

materials and catalysts supports.

• Post-Doctorate ( 2011-2012)

D epa rtment of Chemistry - U niversity of Campinas – Brazil

The objective of this work was the characterization of Brazilian plant essential oil

by gas chromatography (GC GC-qMS) technique. The most important

constituents of essential oil are α-cyperone and cyperotundone believed to be

effective pain relievers, working in the same manner as aspirin and ibuprofen,

and may possess antimalarial properties.

• Post- Doctorate ( 2010-2011)

2

School of Food Engineering - U niversity of Campinas - Brazil

The objective of this work was process design of supercritical fluid extraction of

active compounds present in Brazilian plants. Statistics showed that profits of

exports coming from the raw material is almost ten times smaller than the

extract itself. Considering this fact, we emphasize the importance of

supercritical fluid extraction in Brazil, which proves to be environmentally safe.

• Post-Doctorate ( 2009-2010)

D epa rtment of I nformation Technology - U niversity of ABC - Brazil

The objective of this work was design a control solution for biodiesel production

using an online application in Function Block IEC 61499 technology and viscosity

sensors. That solution embeds a neural network into a Function Block 61499

hiding the complexity of nonlinear analyses for the plant integrators.

• Ph.D. Degree (2005-2008)

School of Chemical Engineering - University of Campinas – Brazil

In this work, the controller applied was important in the maintenance of the

temperature of biodiesel reactor using digital system. The process control was

important to guarantee the final quality of product.

• Mc.S. Degree (2003-2 005)

School of Chemical Engineering - University of Campinas – Brazil

In this work, sodium alginate was used for food packaging with ability to form

transparent films. Morphological analyses by Scanning Electron Microscope (SEM)

of fractures of films confirmed a continuous internal structure.

• Bachelor (1993- 1999)

School of Chemical Engineering - Federal University of Sao Carlos – Brazil

3

This work focused in the pollution due to heavy metals (chromium). In Brazil, this

problem is due to chroming industry, metallurgical, electronics, and leather. This

research aimed to develop an electrochemical method for the remediation of

chromium using a conductive polymer in the reactor.
