About me

I am a scientist/professor committed to create sustainable technologies to support our planet and human health. I am interested in creative research and education. I work for KU Leuven in Belgium since October 2015 and for Abo Akademi in Finland since August 2005. I did my habilitation in Chemical Engineering at Abo Akademi during 2003 and 2004. I was also a post-doc during 2000 and 2002. I have a Doctor of Science degree from State University of Campinas (Unicamp), Brazil and nine years of experience in R&D&I in industry in Brazil.

About Topochemical Engineering and Biofabrication

Biofabrication is one of the most promising sustainable technologies for production of materials and chemicals. Topochemical engineering combined with biofabrication can facilitate the creation of new materials and molecules for advanced applications in human health, planet sustainability and better life quality. In this website you will find a combination of my research and education activities in Finland and in Belgium. My research is performed with valuable collaboration of students and post-docs and also with colleagues and friends. My courses are targeted to chemical engineers where the concepts of sustainable processes, biomass engineering and human health  are creatively combined. Collaborative courses are also essential to tackle the challenges and opportunities of multi and interdisciplinarity.
