Dr Paschoal has been an Adjunct Professor of Physical Chemistry at the Instituto Multidisciplinar de Química, Centro Multidisciplinar UFRJ-Macaé, Universidade Federal do Rio de Janeiro, since December 2015. Licentiate, Bachelor´s degree, and PhD in Chemistry were obtained from the Universidade Federal de Juiz de Fora (UFJF). He is the leader of the Núcleo de Química Teórica e Computacional de Macaé (NQTCM) and Núcleo de Estudos em Química Energética e Ambiental de Macaé (NEQEAM), and a scholarship holder of the Jovem Cientista do Nosso Estado (JCNE) Program of FAPERJ. Dr Paschoal has experience in Theoretical and Computational Chemistry, working in the development of computational protocols, adjustment and construction of atomic basis sets, calculation of nonlinear optical properties, studies of thermodynamics and reaction kinetics with an emphasis on the reactions of transition metal complexes with anticancer potential, and studies of computational electrochemistry and computational nuclear magnetic resonance, using calculations including relativistic effects. He also works in molecular modeling studies aimed at development of drugs to combat the SARS-CoV-2 virus and is developing research projects aimed at meeting the goals of sustainable development (SDG), with studies involving the removal of CO2 from the environment (SDG 13), dye-sensitized solar cells (SDG 7), and in projects aimed at the use of digital technologies in education (SDG 4).
