Raildo Mota Jesus graduated in Agricultural Engineering from the Federal University of Bahia (1991) and obtained a Master's degree in Geochemistry and Environment (1999) and a PhD in Analytical Chemistry from the Federal University of Bahia (2010). He is a Full Professor at the State University of Santa Cruz (UESC) and works in the area of Analytical Chemistry, working mainly on the following topics: development of analytical methods for determining traces of metals and metalloids using electroanalytical techniques in environmental matrices and of food and the use of analytical strategies to minimize the sample preparation stage. He is a Member of the Installation Committee of the Institute for Physicochemical Research and Analysis, IPAF/UESC (2014–current), the Leader of the Analytical Chemistry Research Group in Southern Bahia, and a Member of the Tropical Water Research Alliance (TWRA)—a partnership between institutions in Brazil and Australia that seeks to promote an integrated approach to the research and management of tropical river basins.
