Characterization of nanoparticles in water by AF4-MALS

Sep 2022 – Apr 2022

Description:

• Assisted on the development of methods for the analysis of submicrometric and nanometric particles in water using field flow fractionation (AF4) and multiple detectors, such as multi-angle light scattering (MALS) and ICP-MS;

• Operated an ultrafiltration setup to verify its feasibility as a particle concentration step prior to sample analysis;

• Performed literature review, planned experiments and carried out laboratory analyses.

Part-time internship - Research Assistant

NHL Stenden University of Applied Sciences

Oct 2021 – Oct 2022

Description:

• The research projects involved the characterization of wastewater discharged by plastic recyclers, so that it would be possible to later decide on the best treatment options;

• I carried out analyzes in the laboratory, data processing and wrote reports;

• Some of the analyzes I performed involved: LC-MS, ICP-OES, determination of solids, color, turbidity, chemical oxygen demand and others.

Undergraduate Research Student

Institute of Chemistry of Universidade de São Paulo (IQ-USP)

Aug 2017 – Jul 2019

Description:

• I participated in two research projects, actively working in the laboratories and processing experimental data;

• Performed sample preparation for elemental analysis, such as microwave assisted digestion and solid phase extraction;

• Learned the fundamentals of atomic spectrometry by working with Flame Atomic Absorption Spectrometry (F-AAS) and ICP-OES;

• Assessment of the method's figures of merit (e.g. precision, limit of detection and recovery).
