Prof. Catia Ornelas
Principal Investigator
Cátia Ornelas graduated in Chemistry at University of Madeira (Portugal) and her undergraduate research was carried out under supervision of Prof. João Rodrigues from University of Madeira (Portugal) and Prof. Kari Rissanen from the University of Jyvaskyla (Finland). She earned her PhD degree in Chemistry (in 2007) at the University of Bordeaux/University of Rennes, France, under the supervision of Prof. Didier Astruc. After a postdoctoral appointment at the Molecular Design Institute at New York University with Prof. Marcus Weck (2008-2010), she was a postdoctoral fellow at University of California Berkeley, in the group of Prof. Jean M. J. Fréchet (2010-2011). Her last postdoctoral position in the USA was at the Energy Frontier Research Center at Arizona State University in the group of Prof. Ana Moore, Prof. Thomas Moore and Prof. Devens Gust. In 2013, she joinned the faculty at the Institute of Chemistry at University of Campinas, Unicamp (Brazil).
She is the author of fifty peer-reviewed papers including seven in Journal of the American Chemical Society, three in Angewandte Chemie and one in Chemical Reviews. In 2011, she received the prestigious Burgen Award by the Academy of Europe. In 2015, she was was the recipient of a Productivity Award from the National Council for Scientific and Technological Development (CNPQ). Catia Ornelas is the co-founder and Chair of the American Chemical Society Brazilian Chapter.
Her interests are the development of new nanomaterials for applications in drug delivery, biosensors and catalysis. |
