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.

Dr. Carlos Toro earned his Bachelor’s degree in Chemistry from La Universidad del Zulia, Maracaibo, Venezuela, where he started his professional career as a computational chemist. In 2010, Carlos obtained his Ph.D. in Chemistry from the University of Central Florida, where he used multi-photon absorption spectroscopy to study the nonlinear optical properties of chiral molecules. Afterwards, he held a position as the Ellen D. Williams Distinguished Postdoctoral Fellow in the Department of Chemistry and Biochemistry at the University of Maryland, where his research focused on the study of high resolution transient infrared absorption spectroscopy of molecular super rotors. In Spring 2014, Carlos joined the ACS Publications Division and is now Associate Editor, overseeing nine journal titles with responsibility over their strategic development and management.
