Eduardo Fischer Kerche holds a degree in Materials Engineering from the Federal University of Rio Grande do Sul (UFRGS), with an emphasis on polymeric composite materials. He was a scholarship holder by the MARCA program of Latin American universities and carried out an exchange at the Universidad Nacional de Salta (UNSA) - Argentina during the second half of 2016. He completed an academic master's degree together with the graduate program in mining, metallurgical and materials engineering (PPGE3M), by UFRGS, with a sandwich period at the Universidad Autónoma de Madrid (UAM) - Spain, next to the master in advanced materials nanotechnology and photonics. He has experience in the area of ​​synthesis and characterization of polyurethane foams and lignocellulosic materials, as well as in composite and nanocomposite materials, with some articles published in journals and annals of events in both areas. He also has experience in processing and characterizing thermoset rubbers. Currently, he is doing a PhD at PPGE3M in polymeric composite materials, focusing on the modification of reinforcements with ionic liquids for use in thermosetting matrices.
