Featured Speakers
Thereza A. Soares, Ph.D.
Executive, ACS Journal of Chemical Information and Modeling
Professor, Department of Chemistry, University of São Paulo, Brazil
Dr. Soares holds a Ph.D. in chemistry with major in computational chemistry from the Federal University of Pernambuco, Brazil and a postdoctoral training at the Swiss Federal Institute of Technology in Zurich, Switzerland. Dr. Soares worked as research scientist the Pacific Northwest National Laboratory (2005-2009), full professor at the Federal University of Pernambuco, Brazil (2010-2021) and held invited professorships at the Swiss Federal Institute of Technology in Lausanne, Switzerland (2013), Umeå University, Sweden (2016), the National Institute Infectious Diseases, Japan (2019) and University of Oslo, Norway (2020, 2021-2026). Her main research interest is in the development and application of computational chemistry methodologies to understand molecular processes and to interpret experimental observations in soft matter with emphasis on bacterial lipopolysaccharide membranes.
Juliana Vidal. Ph.D.
Higher Education Program Manager, Beyond Benign
ACS Green Chemistry Institute
Juliana Vidal (she/her) is the Higher Education Program Manager at Beyond Benign, a non-profit organization dedicated to empowering the community for a sustainable future through green chemistry. She earned her Ph.D. at Memorial University of Newfoundland (St. John’s, Canada) under the supervision of Prof. Francesca Kerton and the co-supervision of Prof. Stephanie MacQuarrie. During her Ph.D., Juliana investigated new applications for biochar, a sustainable material obtained from wood waste. As a Postdoctoral Researcher at McGill University (Montréal, Canada), Juliana worked under the supervision of Prof. Audrey Moores on developing greener methods for implementing a biorefinery using crustacean shell waste and mechanochemistry. Juliana is the Co-Chair of the Global Conversation on Sustainability (GCS), a joint project of the International Younger Chemists Network (IYCN) and the International Union of Pure and Applied Chemistry (IUPAC). She is also a Coordination Member of the Chemicals & Waste Youth Platform of the United Nations Environment Programme Major Group for Children and Youth (UNEP MGCY), an Associate Editor for Thieme’s Sustainability & Circularity NOW journal and was selected as a Chemical Abstracts Service (CAS) Future Leader in 2020.
Marina de Souza Melchiors, Ph.D.
Customer Success Specialist, CAS
Marina has a Bachelor’s degree in Chemical Engineering from the Federal University of Santa Catarina (UFSC) and in Food Engineering from the State University of Santa Catarina (UDESC). She received her Master’s degree and Ph.D. in Chemical Engineering with a specialization in Development of Chemical and Biotechnological Processes from the Federal University of Santa Catarina (UFSC). Post-Doctorate researcher in Polymerization Processes and Synthetic Biology from the Max-Planck Institute for Polymer Research, Germany. And, she is currently working as a Customer Success Specialist at CAS (Chemical Abstracts Service, a division of the American Chemical Society – ACS).
Daniela Zanchet, Ph.D.
Associate Editor, Chemistry of Materials
Associate Professor, Inorganic Chemistry Department, University of Campinas - UNICAMP
Dr. Zanchet obtained her bachelor’s degree in Chemical Engineering at the Federal University of Paraná, Brazil (1993) and M. Sc. and Dr. Sc in Physics at University of Campinas, Brazil (1996 and 1999, respectively). She was a post-doctoral fellow at the Chemistry Department of University of Berkeley, USA (2001) and a visiting scientist at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology, USA (2016). She was a researcher and group leader at the Brazilian Synchrotron Light Laboratory from 2001 to 2010, working in nanomaterials and advanced characterization techniques. Dr. Zanchet moved to the Inorganic Chemistry Department at the University of Campinas in 2010 and she currently serves as Associate Professor and Coordinator of the Research Committee. Her recent focus has been on catalytic production of hydrogen using renewable feedstocks, catalytic conversion of lignocellulosic derivates to biofuels and chemicals, and the catalytic conversion of CO2 and CH4 to chemicals. She has been a Topic Editor for the ACS Publications journal Chemistry of Materials since 2022.
