ABOUT THE LAB
The focus of the lab is the development of a disruptive technology for the production of second generation ethanol using thermophilic bacteria.
This technology is based on two pillars: genetic engineering of thermophilic bacteria (developed at CBMEG's A2G Lab) and process engineering of lignocellulosic biomass conversion (developed at Unicamp's Chemical Engineering College).

Associate Professor (FEQ/UNICAMP)
My research program is aimed at developing technology, design tools and methodologies, and human resources to create energy-efficient technologies and sustainable biorefinery designs. I combine Process Systems Engineering tools with experiments to convert R&D technology efforts into process concepts and sustainable business opportunities for the sugarcane and forest industry.
