Researcher at Forschungszentrum Jülich, Germany (CAPES/ Humboldt fellow). His
primary research interests include the development of nanoparticle synthesis
routes to produce heterogeneous catalysts for water decontamination and energy
production, investigations about the catalytic activity of nanoparticles, and
the development of nanocomposites for slow/controlled release in agriculture.
