Applications of Analytical Chemistry in Industry

Sílvio Vaz Jr. holds a D.Sc. degree in Analytical Chemistry from the University of São Paulo, Brazil, with equivalent doctorate degrees attributed from the University of Coimbra, Portugal, and from the University of Granada, Spain. Having previously served as Director and Partner at two private environmental analysis laboratories, he is currently a Senior Scientist at the Brazilian Agricultural Research Corporation (Embrapa), where his work focuses on the development of renewable molecules (e.g., eco-friendly agrochemicals), environmental chemistry (e.g., CO₂ capture and use), agricultural chemistry, and the application of analytical chemistry to biomass and bioenergy, as well as green and sustainable chemistry. He has previously published with Springer Nature the books "Analytical Techniques and Methods for Biomass" (2016), "Biomass and Green Chemistry: Building a Renewable Pathway" (2018), "Analytical Chemistry Applied to Emerging Pollutants" (2018), "Sustainable Agrochemistry - A Compendium of Technologies" (2019) and "Treatment of Agroindustrial Biomass Residues" (2020). He was appointed as the Chairman of the Brazilian Division of the American Chemical Society (03/2018-03/2019). Moreover, he serves as Professor of the graduate program in biofuel at the Federal University of Uberlândia, Brazil.

Sílvio Vaz Jr. 擁有巴西聖保羅大學的分析化學博士學位，並獲得葡萄牙科英布拉大學和西班牙格拉納達大學的等同博士學位。他曾擔任兩家私營環境分析實驗室的主任和合夥人，目前是巴西農業研究公司（Embrapa）的高級科學家，專注於可再生分子的開發（例如，環保農藥）、環境化學（例如，二氧化碳捕集與利用）、農業化學，以及分析化學在生物質和生物能源中的應用，還有綠色和可持續化學。他曾與Springer Nature出版過多本書籍，包括《生物質的分析技術與方法》（2016年）、《生物質與綠色化學：建立可再生的途徑》（2018年）、《應用於新興污染物的分析化學》（2018年）、《可持續農業化學 - 技術彙編》（2019年）和《農業工業生物質廢棄物的處理》（2020年）。他曾被任命為美國化學學會巴西分會的主席（2018年3月-2019年3月）。此外，他還擔任巴西烏貝蘭迪亞聯邦大學生物燃料研究所的教授。
