My work broadly concentrates on the chemical transformation and utilization of biomass
resources. I have spearheaded a few interdisciplinary initiatives that combine expertise in
the fields of polymer synthesis and materials chemistry. I am interested in the atom-efficient,
ecofriendly, highly efficient chemical transformations of a variety of biomass into
sustainable intermediates, polymer auxiliaries, bioplastics, elastomers and advanced
bio-based materials. My current research mainly includes the following areas:
Solvent- and catalyst-free synthesis of plasticizer, flame retardant，heat stabilizer and polyol
from biomass resources
Flame retardant polymer and their composites materials including polyvinyl chloride(PVC)
materials, phenolic foam and polyurethane foam
Biomass-based internally plasticized PVC materials and self-repairing elastomer and
self-repairing polyurethane

Dr. Malafaia (Guilherme) He is a Professor in the Department of Biological Sciences at Federal Institute of Education, Science and Technology Goiano (Goiás State, Brazil). He received a bachelor’s degree from Federal University of Ouro Preto, a MS from Federal University of Goiás, PhD and Postdoc from Federal University of Goiás, all related to Environmental and Biological Sciences. He is directing the Biological Research Laboratory with a focus on the ecotoxicological assessment of emerging pollutants, including micro- and nanoplastics, nanomaterials, nanofibers, pesticides, drug residues, etc. The ongoing research projects in his lab use different animal species as model systems (eg: mice, zebrafish, guppy, Amazon-turtle, tadpole, Japanese quails, mosquito larvae, earthworms, and dragonfly larvae, in addition to aquatic and native plants from Brazilian Cerrado). He has published over 240 journal papers and several books. In addition, he has served as a reviewer for more than 170 international journals. He is an advisor for scientific initiation (undergraduate students), master's and doctorate, in addition to post-doctoral internship.

Dr. David Galan is a scientific researcher (from 2004 up to nowadays) in the Department of Atmospheric Pollution (National Reference Laboratory for Air Quality in Spain) of the National Center for Environmental Health (Health Institute Carlos III). He is the head of functional unit in that Department and holds a PhD in Inorganic and Bioinorganic Chemistry by Complutense University of Madrid (Mention of European Doctorate). Similarly, Dr. Galán is an expert in instrumental techniques by Faculty of Chemical Sciences (Complutense University of Madrid) and holds a Master in Computer Science and Management as well as 31 specific courses. Dr. Galán has published more than 190 scientific-technical reports as well as more than 36 oral communications in international congresses, including air quality issues. Dr. Galán has been served as a member of Directive Board of a Scientific Society such Spanish Society for Environment Health (2013-2017), member of the European Committee for Standardization (CEN/TC 264 “Air Quality”), member of Workgroups for developing European Normative Projects, as WG 34 “Determination of anions and cations in ambient air”, member of Scientific and Management Committees in Scientific Congresses, Editorial Board Member for Annals of Civil and Environment Engineering, Journal of Epidemiology and Global Health Research and Environmental Science: Research and Reviews, technical assistant for the Expert Committee for air quality assessment during a large fire at a used tire landfill, as well as a member of board of national competitive exams in the field of research for Research Public Organizations on numerous occasions (2006-2019). Nowadays, he is Technical-Scientific Committee member for RELAB (Network of Biological Alert Laboratories). In teaching, Dr. Galán has been part of the Teachers Board in courses and masters of environmental techniques and air pollution. In researching, Dr. Galán has been a main research of 3 research projects and was included in the research team of numerous international research projects and contracts with the Public Administration. Dr. Galán has been responsible for the validation process and subsequent accreditation by ENAC (National Accreditation Entity for Spain) of more than 50 parameters.
