Dr. Fernando Tonin

Dr. Fernando Gustavo Tonin has a degree in Chemistry from the Chemistry Institute of the University of São Paulo (IQ-USP) and a PhD in Analytical Chemistry from the same institution. He is currently Professor II at the University of São Paulo, working at the School of Animal Science and Food Engineering on the Pirassununga campus (USP-FZEA). He has experience in developing and validating methods for analyzing complex matrices using separation techniques, especially high-performance liquid chromatography and capillary electrophoresis, coupled to optical and mass spectrometry detectors. His main current interests include obtaining and analyzing biofuels, monitoring and studying the catalytic degradation of pollutants in water bodies, using agro-industrial waste, developing analytical methods for the qualitative and quantitative analysis of chemical species with antioxidant activity, and the mechanisms involved in separation processes (HPLC and capillary electrophoresis). He works as a Full Advisor in the Postgraduate Program in Materials Science and Engineering at USP-FZEA.
