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)

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

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.
