Assistant Professor in the Chemical and Materials Engineering Department at PUC-Rio, with a multidisciplinary background bridging physics, materials science, and engineering. My research focuses on the design, synthesis, and characterization of functional inorganic and hybrid nanomaterials, with a particular emphasis on rare-earth-based systems. At PUC-Rio, I coordinate interdisciplinary research efforts aimed at addressing key challenges in sustainable technologies, including the development of materials for renewable energy systems, CO₂ capture, and environmental monitoring and remediation.
