Personal Statement
PhD student at SUNY-ESF, first year, Pulp and paper engineering and biomaterial developer interested in developing projects in the new technologies and new businesses area, focusing on nanotechnology and fiber engineering for the production and application of nanocelluloses in several markets including the implementation of new technologies in the production of pulp, paper and special packaging with renewable barriers, cosmetics and materials that could use nanocelluloses and biopolymers in their composition. I was Researcher specialist in fiber nanotechnology in the RDI team (Research Development and Innovation) at Klabin (2015-2022) responsible for the development of projects in the group of new technologies and new business, focusing on nanotechnology and fiber engineering for the production and application of nanocelluloses in several markets. Responsible for the implementation of new technologies in the production of new papers, papers and special packaging with renewable barriers, renewable cosmetics and materials using nanocelluloses. Responsible for the scale up of nanocelulose production and barrier applications - From the laboratory to the scale up. Construction of expansion scenarios for Klabin's factories, integrating new technologies and biorefinery concepts. Lead several pre-competitive partnerships between companies in the pulp and paper sector worldwide, in addition to participating in the company's open innovation strategy in the search for numerous start-ups in several countries in order to expand the company's business opportunities. Also from 2019 to 2020 Coordinator of the Nanotechnology Commission of the Brazilian Pulp and Paper Association. Organization and management of pre-competitive technical discussions on production, application and regulation of nanomaterials with focus on nanocelluloses in the pulp and paper sector in Brazil.
