Master students
Gustavo Henrique de Faria Candido
Academics:
Master in Chemistry and graduated in Chemistry from the State University of Campinas (2023). He is part of the Materials Simulation Laboratory at Unicamp (UMSL) in the area of Heterogeneous Catalysis under the guidance of Professor Dr. Miguel Angel San Miguel Barrera, from the Department of Chemical Physics at IQ-Unicamp. He has experience in the search for potential catalytic sites in bimetallic MN nanoparticles of 13 atoms (M and N = Pd, Pt, or Ni) for the water-gas shift reaction.
