Electrified surfaces in aqueous solutions are
omnipresent in all living systems. Understanding ion specific effects continue to be a big challenge. My research interests lie at the boundary between physics, chemistry and biology. My expertise is in
mathematical models, and one of the major challenges that have attracted my attention is how we can use the
laws of classical physics to address modern biological and biotechnological problems such as the interaction of
anti-microbial peptides with living cells and the transfer of drugs used for cancer therapies. In addition, I am interested on the inclusion of nonelectrostatic interactions
into the Poisson-Boltzmann model of the diffuse double layer. A more detailed
knowledge in electrostatics and the underlying mathematics allows us to enter new pathways toward the
development of models that describe specific ion-ion interactions.
graduation at Física Biológica from Universidade Estadual Paulista Júlio de Mesquita Filho (2010), master's at Byophysics from Universidade Estadual Paulista Júlio de Mesquita Filho (2013), master's at Physics from North Dakota State University (2015) and doctorate at PhD Physics from North Dakota State University (2017). Has experience in Physics, focusing on Physics Of The Condensed State Of Substance, acting on the following subjects: carga elétrica média total dos aminoácidos, determinação do grau de dissociação de aminoácidos, ionization degree, aproximação de campo médio and coleta e análise de dados.
