Chemometrics

Fabiano André Narciso Fernandes is currently a Professor of Chemical Engineering at the Federal University of Ceará, Brazil, where he teaches and undertakes research on process and product development. He received his degree in chemical engineering from the Federal University of São Carlos in São Paulo, Brazil. He received his PhD in chemical engineering in 2002 from the State University of Campinas, in São Paulo, Brazil. Dr. Fernandes has published more than 100 papers in scientific journals. Sueli Rodrigues is a Professor at the Department of Food Science and Technology, Universidade Federal do Ceará, Brazil. She graduated in Chemical Engineering from Universidade Estadual de Campinas (1998), completing a Master's in Chemical Engineering from Universidade Estadual de Campinas in 2000 and a PhD inChemical Engineering from Universidade Estadual de Campinas (2003). Elenilson Godoy Alves Filho is currently Professor at the Food Engineering Department in UFC-Fortaleza, Brazil. He developed his undergraduate research in GC-MS and analytical chemistry at the Federal University of Goiás (UFG), Brazil, where he was an organic chemistry monitor. His master's degree was carried out in UFG applied to quantification and chemometric by NMR. He developed his PhD research in UFSCar applied to qNMR, chemometrics, as well as a PhD at University of Toronto applied to HPLC-(UV/MS)-SPE-ASS-NMR and CMP-NMR probe analyses. He developed his Postdoc in food research by qNMR, GC-MS, and LC-MS, all coupled to chemometrics.
