Personal Page – Professor

Professor at the Institute of Physics of São Carlos (IFSC) at the University of São Paulo (USP). Holds a degree in Physics (2009) from São Paulo State University Júlio de Mesquita Filho (UNESP), and a Masters degree (2012) and Ph.D. (2016) in Materials Science and Engineering from the same institution. Completed a sandwich Ph.D. at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT), USA (2014-2015). Worked as a postdoctoral researcher at the Institute of Chemistry of Araraquara (IQ-UNESP) (2017-2023) and at Eberhard Karls University of Tübingen, Germany (2021-2022), as well as a visiting researcher at the International Iberian Nanotechnology Laboratory (INL), Portugal (2018). Served as Temporary Professor in the Department of Engineering, Physics, and Mathematics at the Institute of Chemistry (IQ-UNESP), Araraquara campus (2024), and in the Department of Exact Sciences at the School of Agricultural and Veterinary Sciences (FCAV-UNESP), Jaboticabal campus (2025). Has experience in the synthesis of semiconductor oxide materials, particularly one-dimensional (1D) nanostructures based on tin oxide with different stoichiometries, as well as in the fabrication and characterization of gas sensor devices. Research interests include: nanostructured semiconductor materials, both pure and hybrid (with emphasis on 1D nanostructures); study of semiconductor material properties applied to gas and UV radiation sensors; investigation of pn junction effects on the sensing response of nanostructures and thin films; study of gas sensors using in operando techniques; and field-effect transistors (FETs) applied to gas sensing.
