Work History

PhD Student

Pilot Plant of Industrial and Biological Processes (PROIMI-Conicet)
04.2020 - Current
  • I have been studying the formulation and the production of a biopesticide based on secondary metabolites produced by Antartic strains Burkholderia gladioli MB39 and Serratia proteamaculans 137. By studying the development of the biopesticide, I gained experience in the formulation of polymeric coatings, in fermentations and in the purification of secondary metabolites using reversed phase chromatography (RP-HPLC).

Graduate Research

Laboratory of Analysis, Simulation and Chemical Processes’ Synthesis, Department of Chemical Engineering, Universidade Estadual de Campinas
07.2019 - 12.2019

On this internship I worked studying the effect of lignin without surface modification on the synthesis of poly(methyl methacrylate) via polymerization by miniemulsion. The use of lignin improved thermal stability and mechanical properties of the polymer.

Undergraduate Thesis

Laboratory of Organic and Inorganic Processes, Department of Chemistry, Universidade Federal de Viçosa
03.2016 - 07.2016

Final project to receive the title of Chemical Engineer. I studied alternative steps on the conventional methodology for the production of cellulose nanocrystals. The project based on using cotton as raw material and the hydrolysis with sulfuric acid.

  • Proven ability to learn quickly and adapt to new situations.

Undergraduate Research

Process Simulation Laboratory, Department of Chemistry, Universidade Federal de Viçosa
08.2015 - 12.2015

As an undergrad student I worked with Dr. Fábio de Ávila Rodrigues on "Modeling and Simulation of Furfural Production from Xylose" using the software Aspen HYSYS.

Internship Student

Laboratory for Light-Surface Interactions, Department of Applied Physics and Applied Mathematics, Columbia University
06.2015 - 08.2015

I worked with Dr. Richard M. Osgood Jr. and Dr. Denis V. Potapenko on two different projects:

  • The UV light-induced chemistry of trimethyl acetic acid (TMAA) molecules on a single-crystal titanium dioxide surface and the relationship of chemical properties and mechanical strain
  • Correlation of H Adsorption Energy and Nanoscale Elastic Surface Strain on Rutile TiO2(110).


This work resulted in the publication of a scientific paper.

Museum Assistant

Chemistry Museum (Sala Mendeleev), Universidade Federal de Viçosa
03.2011 - 03.2013

I prepared presentations, chemical experiments and activities to help increase the interest of high school students in the Chemistry field.

Teaching Assistant - Calculus I

Universidade Federal de Viçosa
08.2010 - 12.2010

I led exercise classes and helped students to study for the exams/solve exercises lists.
