I am an organic chemistry professor at Universidade Federal de Alagoas, hold a masters degree in natural products chemistry and a PhD in Biotechnology. Organic synthesis and natural products chemistry have been my main fields of work since the undergrad period, especially focused on their use in chemical ecology. More recently, new areas are being explored, aiming the development of adsorbent materials from natural sources with applications in wastewater and oil spill remediation, in addition to volatile adsorption.
