PhD and Master in Chemistry at Universidade Estadual Paulista, campus Araraquara and Bachelor in Chemistry with technological assignments at Universidade Federal de São Carlos. I had a postdoctoral position at the University of Waterloo in Professor Holger Kleinke?s research group. In my project, I studied the development of thermoelectric materials based on Bi doped Magnesium Silicides Stannides compounds using Solid State method. Currently, I have a postdoctoral position at LNNano/CNPEM in collaboration with University of Waterloo. The project aims the development of techniques that assist in improving the thermoelectric properties of oxides such as tin oxide. During my scientific career, I had experience in synthesis of oxides nano and microstructured (Sn, Zn, Cu, titanates, and zirconates) and doping with rare earth (Eu, Sm) using conventional hydrothermal, microwave hydrothermal, and polymeric precursors methods. In addition, I had experience in growth of perovskite oxides thin films through Pulsed Laser deposition method and spin-coating technique, and production of polymer/ceramic composite as multifunctional materials. The composite films were formed by the junction of ceramic powders with poly vinylidene fluoride polymer by hot pressing method. Regarding characterization techniques, I have used several through my research career, including Scanning Electron Microscopy, Transmission Electron Microscopy, X ray diffraction, FT Raman, photoluminescence spectroscopy, Rietveld refinement, electrical conductivity, piezoelectricity analysis, Thermogravimetry and Differential Scanning Calorimetry, and thermoelectric property measurement techniques. I worked as a researcher at Kosmoscience Science and Technology Cosmetics Company for three years after my PhD degree. At this company, I developed and implemented effective assessment methodologies of cosmetic products for hair and home care, using physical chemistry analysis, e.g. Differential Scanning Calorimetry and Energy-dispersive X-ray spectroscopy. I wrote proposals, executed and reported studies as well as I wrote scientific and technical materials. During my entire research career, I have collaborated with new students, by supporting and supervising them to develop their projects. (Source: Lattes Curriculum)

Porous ceramics that exhibit porosity gradients are considered promising materials from the industrial point of view, especially to produce ceramic membranes and filters. The predominant processing route for these materials is the powder technology. This processing route usually results in a pore fraction due to the sintering limitation during the densification process, cost-benefit techn…
The project goal is the development and study of composite polymer/ceramic, with potential for application as multifunctional sensor to be used for converting mechanical energy into electrical energy and emit light. For the composite preparation, different ceramics powders with perovskite structure doped with rare-earth europium will be prepared in order to establish the optimization of t…
The thermoelectric effects allow the direct conversion between thermal and electrical energy, providing an alternative for power generation and cooling. The semiconductor materials currently used for the construction of thermoelectric generators have a high cost. There is a need to discover newly accessible materials that can replace them. A viable option would be oxide materials, as they…
This work proposes studies to obtain ceramic powders for subsequent deposition in multilayer thin films in order to obtain thin films with relevant optical properties. The ceramic powders to be used in the thin films production will be produced via conventional method of solid state reaction (SSR). The thin films will be performed by the Pulsed Laser Deposition method (PLD). The attainmen…
