| Doctor | Obtaining and application of natural products in food and pharmaceuticals, applying biotechnology. |
Research line: Modeling and application of materials in biosciences
Researcher | Titration | Areas of interest | Lattes and ORCID | |
Douglas José Coutinho
| Doctor | Our group is dedicated to the study of electrical and optical properties of conductive, semiconductive and organic insulators thin films. Those thin films are used in the construction of organic electronic devices such as: organic photovoltaics (OPVs), field-effect transistors (OFETs) and biosensors (OECTs). Currently we are focused on the development of organic field-effect transistors and organic electrochemical transistors for biosensors application. | ||
Eduardo Vinicius Kuhn
| Doctor | Research interests include adaptive signal processing, adaptive filters and algorithms, stochastic modeling, speech processing, biomedical signal processing, and digital communications systems. | ||
Ernesto Osvaldo Wrasse
| Doctor | Experience in the field of Material Physics, specifically in the use of computer simulations to describe the structural and electronic properties of materials. Currently, has an interest in biomaterials, drug delivery by nanoparticles, organic polymers (for applications in packs and efficient solar cells), and topological insulators. | ||

Gustavo Henrique Dalposso
| Doctor | Acts mainly in the field of spatial statistics of areas, geostatistics, precision agriculture, applied statistics, geoprocessing, and bootstrap resampling methods. | ||
Jefferson Gustavo Martins
| Doctor | My research interests are focused on pattern recognition and machine learning, and their application in the resolution of problems for which there is low availability of human expertise and which manual process is subjective, time-consuming, repetitive, and produces low recognition rates. Such problems have their data captured by different instruments and are represented through texts, audios, images and videos, among others. | ||
Jones Erni Schmitz
| Doctor | The main research interests are: process modeling through artificial intelligence techniques; Application of advanced process control techniques in bioprocesses; Analysis and synthesis of chemical processes. | ||
Wesley Klewerton Guez Assunção
| Doctor | My research interests for the supervision of students are: Computational Intelligence for Optimization of Bioscience problems. Development of software to support the acquiring, storage, and analysis of data. Dealing, processing, and information extraction in bioscience data sets that are too large or complex. |
