Materials processing: ceramic, polymeric and composite materials processing, metallic, ceramic and polymeric surfaces processing, chemical extraction and modification of absorbent materials derived from agro-industrial waste.
Materials simulation: first-principles calculation of materials properties and phase transitions.
Materials characterization: physical and chemical characterization of ceramic, polymeric, metallic and composite materials, with emphasis on determining structures and microstructures, and their influence on mechanical, thermal and electrical properties; characterization of films, protective coatings and absorbent materials.
