Carina de Souza Teixeira Peraça

Doutoranda no Institudo de Química de São Carlos (IQSC - USP). Durante o mestrado, atuou no Grupo Teórico-Computacional de Matéria Condensada - GTCMC (UFPEL), na realização de estudos computacionais, com base na Teoria do Funcional da Densidade, de nanoclusters de metais de transição em interação com nanotubos de carbono aquirais. Atualmente, desenvolve pesquisa na área de conversão de metano sobre sistemas de óxido de cério, junto ao Quantum Theory of Nanomaterials Group (QTNano Group), que integra o Centro de Inovação em Novas Energias (CINE).

Master in Physics from Federal University of Pelotas. During her master's degree, she worked at the Condensed Matter Theoretical-Computational Group - GTCMC, carrying out computational studies, based on the Density Functional Theory, of transition metal nanoclusters interacting with achiral carbon nanotubes. In 2016, she began studies on transition metal nanoclusters. Between 2014 and 2015, she was a scientific initiation scholarship holder in the same group, in the project of computational study of energetic and structural properties of graphene nanoribbons doped with boron and nitrogen atoms. Currently, in collaboration between UFPEL and USP - São Carlos, she develops research with the Quantum Theory of Nanomaterials Group (QTNano Group), which integrates the Center for Innovation in New Energies (CINE).
