Plenary Lectures<\/strong><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n

Paper and metal oxides are some of the materials that Professor Elvira Fortunato (New University of Lisbon, Portugal)\u00a0uses to develop electronic devices, which, besides producing low environmental impact, promise to make our many everyday objects become electronic, revolutionizing our lives. Learn more about these innovations and the trajectory of its inventor, who will deliver a plenary lecture on green electronics, on Monday (26\/09) at 8h30. See interview.<\/strong><\/a><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

Plants and animals are important sources of knowledge and inspiration for Professor Lei Jiang and his group. In their laboratories at the Technical Institute of Physics and Chemistry in Beijing (China), they develop smart materials, e.g., interfaces that switch between superhydrophilicity and superhydrophobicity. The findings of professor Lei Jiang, in addition to generating publications that received tens of thousands of citations, yielded products which are already widely used. Learn more about this scientist, his way of doing science, his discoveries and his scientific and also philosophical concept of binary cooperative complementary materials, which he will discuss in a plenary lecture on Monday (26\/09) at 16h45.\u00a0See interview.<\/strong><\/a><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

Imagine yourself inserting in a computer the material properties you desire for a specific application and obtaining the project of the most appropriate material. This is a promise of computational materials science, an issue whose recent advances will be discussed by Professor Susan Sinnott on Tuesday (27\/09) at 8h30. Sinnott heads the Department of Materials Science and Engineering at Pennsylvania State University (USA). She is editor-in-chief of the journal Computational Materials Science. Her scientific production includes important contributions to the development of simulation tools for heterogeneous material systems at the atomic scale.\u00a0See interview.<\/strong><\/a>\u00a0<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

On Tuesday (27\/09) at 16h45, physicist Ado Jorio de Vasconcelos (Professor at the Brazilian Federal University of Minas Gerais, UFMG) will deliver a plenary lecture on the use of Raman spectroscopy for the study of carbon nanostructures. Jorio is an e<\/span>xpert in the application of optics in nanostructure studies. In 2001, he became the first researcher to use an optical technique to study carbon nanotubes individually. He holds an H index of 74, one of the highest in Brazil, and is the author of approximately 200 publications with over 30,000 citations. See interview<\/a>.<\/strong><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

Organic semiconductors do not mystify Professor Ifor Samuel, leader and founder of a research group and a R&D center on this subject at the University of St Andrews (Scotland). In his daily routine, Prof. Samuel not only strives to thoroughly understand these materials, but also to find new applications for them in different fields, from dermatologic medicine to the detection of explosives. In addition to hundreds of articles, he has several patents which have been licensed to companies. On Wednesday (28\/09) at 8h30, he will deliver a plenary lecture on optoelectronics based on organic semiconductors. See interview.<\/strong><\/a><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

By exploring the limits of miniaturization, the nanoscientist Paul Weiss (UCLA , USA) and his team developed innovative instruments and techniques, as well as the ability to manipulate molecules. In this way, they have already set up and operated the smallest motors and switches in the world. On Wednesday (28\/09) at 16h45, Professor Weiss, who is founder and editor-in-chief of ACS Nano, will talk about function at the nanoscale. Learn more about some of the major contributions of Paul Weiss to nanoscience and about the secrets of the impact of the journal he leads. See interview.<\/strong><\/a><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

60 years ago, solar cells were only found in artificial satellites. Today, they are part of the energy matrix of many countries and, in the near future, maybe they will provide electricity to consumer electronics, among other applications. On Thursday (29\/09) at 10h45, Professor Anders Hagfeldt (EPFL , Switzerland) will discuss recent scientific advances in two technologies, very promising for solar cells: those based on perovskite and dyes. Know more about solar cells and about Prof. Hagfeldt,\u00a0<\/span><\/span><\/span>who appears in several rankings due to his 47,000 citations and H index of 103.\u00a0<\/span>See interview.<\/strong><\/a>\u00a0<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n
