Josiel Barbosa Domingos

Dr. Josiel B. Domingos serves as a Full Professor in the Department of Chemistry at the Federal University of Santa Catarina (UFSC) in Florianópolis, Brazil, where he has been the leader of the Laboratory of Biomimetic Catalysis (LaCBio) since 2006. He holds a PQ1D Research Fellowship from the Brazilian National Council for Scientific and Technological Development (CNPq). In 2003, Dr. Domingos earned his Ph.D. jointly from UFSC and the University of California, Santa Barbara (USA), under the guidance of Professors Faruk Nome and Clifford Bunton. Following his doctoral studies, he pursued postdoctoral research with Professor Florian Hollfelder (2003-2005) at the Department of Biochemistry, University of Cambridge, UK, and later with Professor Jairton Dupont (2005-2006) at the Federal University of Rio Grande do Sul, Brazil. Dr. Domingos' primary research interests encompass the investigation of catalytic organic reaction mechanisms and the development of innovative metal-based catalytic systems for bioorthogonal chemistry applications.
