Since 2013, I have been a professor (currently adjunct II) at the department of physics at the Federal University of Amazonas - DF/UFAM. I am accredited as a permanent professor in the graduate programs in physics (PPGFIS - since 2013), chemistry (PPGQ - since 2015), and materials science and engineering (PPGCEM - since 2014) at UFAM. I have been coordinator of the Laboratory of Nanostructured Polymers (NANOPOL - @nanopol_ufam) since 2014, having worked on research that addresses (i) synthesis and structural characterization of conjugated polymers and nanocomposites; (ii) development of biodegradable polymeric particles that carry natural actives; (iii) stabilization of encapsulated systems; (iv) extraction, characterization and encapsulation of essential oils and (v) evaluation of the bioactivity of encapsulated systems. I have been the leader of the Nanotechnology Group in Natural Products (NANONAT - CNPq) of CNPq since 2014. I served as coordinator of the graduate program in materials science and engineering at UFAM (2017-2021). I was awarded a CNPq Level 2 Productivity Scholarship (physics and astronomy) in 2014, and in 2020 I was promoted to Level 1D (physics and astronomy). I was the winner of the 2021 FAPEAM Award in the Outstanding Researcher category of the State of Amazonas (exact and earth sciences).
