My Undergraduate (1993) and Master (1996) degrees in Chemistry were both obtained at the Federal University of Viçosa (Brazil). My PhD degree was obtained at the Federal University of Minas Gerais (Brazil) in 2000. Following four years (2000-2004) of postdoctoral fellow (with Professor Yvonne P. Mascarenhas, https://publons.com/researcher/L-6914-2015/) at the University of São Paulo – São Carlos Institute of Chemistry (Brazil), I got a permanent position at the Institute of Chemistry at the Federal University of Alfenas (Brazil) in 2004 where I occupied the position of Dean of Research and Graduate Studies from 2010 to 2014 and I am Full Professor of Inorganic Chemistry and Crystallography since 2020. My research activity concerns Materials Science, Bioinorganic Chemistry, Crystal Engineering, Crystallography, Supramolecular Chemistry, and polymorphism in pharmaceutical solids. I am co-author of more than 150 articles in peer review scientific journals.
