Graduated in Chemistry from the Federal University of Paraíba in 2008. Master’s degree in 2010 and Doctorate in 2013 by the São Carlos Chemistry Institute of the University of São Paulo (USP). He held a postdoctoral degree at the Institute of Chemistry at UNICAMP in 2015. He develops research in the field of Analytical Chemistry in microfluidic systems, with an emphasis on electrochemical sensors for in-situ analysis in complex matrices and sample preparation techniques. He has received awards for papers at conferences and featured publications on ACS magazine covers. In 2011 he received the Gold Medal at the USP Innovation […]

Dr. Silva is a Professor at The National University of Cuyo and Principal Researcher of National Council for Research (CONICET) in Argentina. Her group (Green Analytical Chemistry) is dedicated on the development of methodologies aligned with the principles Green Analytical Chemistry for the extraction and determination of analytes of food and pharmaceutical interest and the study of the biological role of plant secondary metabolites. The latest projects are focused on the analytical applications of Natural Deep Eutectic Solvents (NADES). The outcomes of the research activities have been presented and recognized at national and international scientific meetings and are regularly published in […]

Dr. Gomez graduated with a BS in Chemistry (2009) and a PhD in Chemistry (2015) from the National University of San Luis, Argentina under the supervision of Dr. María Fernanda Silva. Currently, he is an independent researcher (CONICET) working on the development and characterization of portable electrochemical sensors for food-related compounds. Dr. Gomez is also an expert on the design and application of natural deep eutectic solvents (NADES), one of the hottest issues in the field of green analytical chemistry.
