Jean Marcel R. Gallo is Professor of Inorganic Chemistry at the Department of Chemistry at the Federal University of São Carlos (UFSCar) since 2014, where he leads the Group of Renewable Energy, Nanotechnology and Catalysis (GreenCat). The group research interests lie in the design of heterogeneous catalysts for the application in the biomass conversion. The emphasis of the group is controlling the catalyst site types at an atomic level, as well as the structure at the nanometric scale aiming tackling relevant problems associated to the refinery and the biorefinery. Prof. Gallo was born in São Paulo city, raised in Campinas and studied Chemistry at the State University of Campinas (UNICAMP), where he also obtained the Master?s degree in Chemistry under the supervision of Prof. Ulf Schuchardt. His PhD in Science was obtained in a Cotutelle program between UNICAMP and the University of the Eastern Piedmont ?Amedeo Avogadro? in Alessandria (Italy), under the supervision of Prof. Heloise O. Pastore and Prof. Leonardo Marchese. Prof. Gallo was also a Research Associate in Prof. James A. Dumesic Group in the Department of Chemical & Biological Engineering at the University of Wisconsin-Madison (USA) between 2010 and 2013, and a posdoc fellow in Prof. José Maria C. Bueno group in the Department of Chemical at UFSCar. (Source: Lattes Curriculum)

Aiming to diminish the society dependence on oil, there has been a significant raise in the scientific interest for renewable sources of carbon and energy. Lignocellulosic biomass, composed by ca. 75 % of carbohydrates, appears as the most reliable renewable source of carbon due to its availability. The high processing cost of renewable sources is a limiting factor on the stabilishment of…
The work involves two main lines of action to develop bifunctional catalysts for the direct production of 5-hydroxymethylfurfural from glucose or cellulose. 1) mesoporous carbons will be prepared which will be modified with Brønsted acid groups. Thus, the catalysts will be subjected to modification with Lewis acid groups. Thus, the catalysts will be subjected to a partial ion exchange pro…
Alternatives that help reducing global dependence on non-renewable sources of carbon and energy are of great scientific and industrial interest. In this scenario, the lignocellulosic biomass has been receiving great attention, since it is a potential substitute for the production of chemical compounds of great industrial interest, obtained classically through non-renewable sources. In the…
Recently, it has been observed a great interest in research on renewable sources of energy to replace petroleum and that would allow diminishing the greenhouse effect. In this context, lignocellulosic biomass raises as a valuable substrate for the production of platform chemicals, such the 5-hydroxymethylfurfural (HMF), an important intermediate for the production of chemicals. This molec…
