Dr. Thiago Guimaraes is a CNRS researcher at the Organic Polymer Chemistry Laboratory (LCPO) in Bordeaux, France. He received his chemical engineering degree in 2013 from the University of São Paulo (USP, Brazil), and obtained his Ph.D. in 2017 from the University of Lyon in France, under the supervision of Dr. E. Bourgeat-Lami and Dr. M. Lansalot. In 2018, he moved to Sydney, Australia, to join Prof. Zetterlund’s team at the University of New South Wales (UNSW) as a Research Associate. In August 2021, he joined Prof. Barner-Kowollik’s group as a Research Associate at Queensland University of Technology (QUT) in Brisbane, working on the preparation of light-responsive polymer materials. In February 2023, he joined Team 4 of LCPO as a postdoctoral researcher to develop nanoparticles for hydrogen generation via photocatalysis. Since October 2024, he has been a CNRS researcher (chargé de recherche) in the same Team 4 of LCPO, focusing on the development of nanoparticles in aqueous dispersed systems for electronic and energy applications. Dr. Guimaraes has received four scientific awards, he had over 50 oral/poster communications presented in conferences, and co-authored 27 peer-reviewed papers. His current research interests include the development of sophisticated polymer particles via polymerization in dispersed systems, inorganic/polymer nanoparticles, RAFT polymerization and H2 photocatalysis.
