Ivo Freitas Teixeira

Ivo Teixeira received his BS in 2012 and his MSc in 2013 from the Federal University of Minas Gerais. He received his PhD from the University of Oxford in 2017, under the supervision of Prof. Edman Tsang. After that, he joined Prof. Pedro Camargo?s group at University of São Paulo (Brazil) as a postdoctoral researcher. Between 2019 and 2021, Ivo was a Humboldt Fellow at the Max Planck Institute of Colloids and Interfaces in Potsdam (Germany) as a guest of Prof. Markus Antonietti. Currently, Ivo is an Adjunct Professor at the Federal University of São Carlos (UFSCar), where he recently founded his research group focused on materials based on carbon nitrides and single-atom catalysis coordinates the Young Researcher project (FAPESP) entitled "Graphitic Carbon Nitrides as Platforms for Single-Atom Photocatalysis: Moving Towards Design Principles for Improved Performance".

Ivo possui graduação (2011) e mestrado (2013) em Química pela Universidade Federal de Minas Gerais, tendo realizado sanduíche durante o mestrado na Universidade de Guelph (Canadá). Realizou seu doutorado na Universidade de Oxford (Inglaterra), sob orientação do professor Edman Tsang. Em seguida realizou um pós-doutorado em Química inorgânica na Universidade São Paulo. Entre 2019 e 2021, Ivo foi Fellow da Humboldt Foundation no Instituto Max Planck de coloides e interfaces em Potsdam (Alemanha) como convidado do Prof. Markus Antonietti. Atualmente, Ivo é Professor Adjunto na Universidade Federal de São Carlos (UFSCar), onde fundou recentemente seu grupo de pesquisa com foco em materiais a base de nitretos de carbono e single-atom catalysis e coordena o projeto Jovem Pesquisador (FAPESP) intitulado "Graphitic Carbon Nitrides as Platforms for Single-Atom Photocatalysis: Moving Towards Design Principles for Improved Performance".
