Lesson: Caracterização - XASAbout: Christian Wittee Lopes studied Industrial Chemistry at the Regional Integrated University of Alto Uruguai and Missões (URI – Erechim). He pursued his master's studies in zeolite synthesis using imidazolium-based ionic liquids under the supervision of Prof. Sibele Pergher at the Federal University of Rio Grande do Norte (UFRN). He then moved to Valencia, Spain, for his doctoral studies at the Institute of Chemical Technology (ITQ-UPV-CSIC) under the supervision of Prof. Fernando Rey and Dr. Giovanni Agostini. In his thesis, he studied metal-based materials for environmentally related catalytic reactions using X-ray Absorption Spectroscopy (XAS) and became an advanced user of large facilities. He obtained his international doctorate after a period at LIKAT (Rostock, Germany) in 2018, and his thesis was awarded with Cum Laude distinction. After completing his doctorate, he returned to Brazil and joined the group of Prof. Katia Bernardo Gusmão at the Federal University of Rio Grande do Sul (UFRGS) as a postdoctoral researcher in 2019. In 2020, he became a Visiting Researcher of PRH 50.1 at the Institute of Chemistry at UFRGS under the Human Resources Program of the National Agency of Petroleum, Natural Gas, and Biofuels (ANP). In 2023, he started his activities as a Professor in the Department of Chemistry at the Federal University of Paraná. His research focuses on the synthesis of porous materials containing metallic species and their advanced characterization by X-ray Absorption Spectroscopy under activation/reaction conditions.
