Guilherme is a Chemical Engineer from the State University of Campinas (UNICAMP) and holds a chemical technician degree from the Educational Institute São João da Escócia, both in Brazil. He believes that the energy transition is no longer a discussion about the future but a problem for the present. As a result, from 2022 he worked on solid oxide fuel cell (SOFC) research, studying techniques for the deposition of thin films to act as a barrier layer, improving the lifetime of SOFCs. Guilherme’s work at IREC was funded by the state of São Paulo and aimed to optimise rapid thermal processing (RTP) annealing of SOFC thin films, consequently helping to lower the manufacturing cost and time needed to build these devices.
