Mini-curriculum

Caue Ribeiro received his PhD in Physical Chemistry from the Federal University of Sao Carlos in 2005. After a period in the private sector, he joined the Brazilian Agricultural Research Corporation (Embrapa) as Senior Researcher in 2007. He is also regular Advisor (PhD Thesis and MSc Dissertations) in Federal University of Sao Carlos (UFSCar, Chemistry Program) and Sao Paulo University (USP, Chemistry Institute). He currently is the coordinator of Agronano Network -- a research network for nanotechnologic applications in agriculture, involving about 150 researchers in Brazil and abroad (https://www.embrapa.br/nano). His primary research interests include the development of synthesis routes to produce heterogeneous catalysts (mainly inorganic nanoparticles) for water decontamination and energy production, investigation about crystallization mechanisms in nanoparticles, catalytic activity of nanoparticles and development of nanocomposites for slow/controlled release in agriculture.
