Dr. Carlos A Pérez

Lecture topics: ''Nano-analytical Techniques at the Carnaúba for Experiments in Several Research Areas of Science''

Carlos Alberto Pérez is a researcher at the Coherent X-ray Nanoprobe (Carnaúba) group of the Brazilian Synchrotron Light Laboratory (LNLS) at the fourth-generation synchrotron machine Sirius. His main fields of expertise are atomic and molecular physics and synchrotron radiation with emphasis on X-ray fluorescence (XRF) analysis, X-ray absorption spectroscopy (XAS), and advanced X-ray imaging methods using X-ray micro- and nanoscopic beams. Current research involves trace element studies in animal and plant tissues, biogeochemistry of environmentally important trace elements, and environmental toxicology focusing on the potential mechanism of bio- and phytoremediation of affected environments, environmental toxicology, and nanotoxicology. Throughout his professional career, he has published over 100 peer-reviewed scientific articles and given several lectures at international conferences related to his main scientific fields of research. Dr. Pérez´s experience is important for his leading experiments involving the analysis of 2D and 3D tomographic imaging collected at different contrasts.
