DocentesBiografia
He is graduated in Chemistry at Universidad de las Américas-Puebla (México) under supervision of Prof. Marco Antonio Quiroz Alfaro. After a work experience in Ciba-Specialty Chemicals (currently, BASF), he moved to Ferrara (Italy) where he received his PhD in Chemical Sciences at the University of Ferrara under supervision of Prof. Achille De Battisti. During the same period, he worked as visiting scientist in the group of Prof. Christos Comninellis at the EPFL Institute (Switzerland). From since 2005 to 2008, he has served as faculty member in the Department of Chemistry at the University of Milan (Italy). In 2008, he also moved to Brazil where he currently is a Full Professor in the Institute of Chemistry at the Federal University of Rio Grande do Norte. He was awarded with the Oronzio and Niccolò De Nora Foundation Prize by the Italian Chemical Society (2005) and the Oronzio and Niccolò De Nora Foundation Prize on Environmental Electrochemistry by the International Society of Electrochemistry (ISE) (2009). He was also recognized by German Government with the Green Talent Award for his contributions in the field of electrochemical water disinfection-treatment (2009). In 2023, the Royal Society of Chemistry (RSC) was nominated as a Fellow. He is the author and co-author of more than 470 scientific publications, including conference books, book chapters, books, and more than 350 papers in peer-reviewed international scientific journals (h-index of 62, >22000 citations), papers in national scientific journals, more than 90 contributions in conference proceedings and a co-inventor of 4 patents. He is co-editor of the books entitled Synthetic Diamond Films (Wiley Sons) and Electrochemical Water and Wastewater Treatment (Elsevier). He is an editorial member of several journals (Applied Catalysis B: Environmental (Elsevier), Current Opinion in Electrochemistry (Elsevier), ACS EST Water (American Chemical Society), Journal Chemistry (Hindawi-Springer), SN Applied Sciences (Springer), ChemElectroChem (Wiley), ChemPhysChem (Wiley), Critical Reviews in Environmental Science and Technology (Taylor Francis Group), Chemical Sciences (RSC), Functional Diamond (Taylor Francis Group)) and an Editor in Scientific Reports (Nature) and Chemistry Africa (Springer). Guest Editor of Special Issues in the journals, such as Current Opinion in Electrochemistry, Current Opinion in Solid State and Materials Science, ChemElectroChem, Science of the Total Environment, Materials, Applied Sciences, Electrochimica Acta, Environmental Research, Scientific Reports, Applied Research, Chemosphere, as well as he serves as reviewer in innumerable international journals. His research interests include electrochemical advanced oxidation processes for water treatment, electrocatalytic materials, electrocatalysis, photoelectrocatalysis, electroorganic synthesis, electroanalysis as well as the construction of electrochemical-sensors, green hydrogen production and waste valorization. He participated as general chair of organizing committee of the XXI Simpósio Brasileiro de Eletroquímica e Eletroanalítica - SIBEE (2017), IV Iberoamerican Conference on Advanced Oxidation Processes - CIPOA (2019), Brazil; and 39th Topical Meeting of ISE in Natal (2025). Currently, he is member of different international environmental societies, the Past-President of the Brazilian Society of Electrochemistry and Electroanalysis, Past-Chair of International Society of Electrochemistry Division 5 and co-Founder of Network Latin-AOPs. He was a visiting scientist in the Institut für Organische Chemie at the Johannes Gutenberg-Universität Mainz (Germany) supported by Alexander von Humboldt Foundation during 2018, 2020 and 2021, at the Universidad de Castilla La Mancha (Spain) in 2022 and at the Universidade de Alagoas (Brazil) in 2023. He is also a projects reviewer for The RSC, Science Foundation of Ireland SFI, Fundação de Apoio à Pesquisa e à Inovação Tecnológica do Est
