Last week FAPESP (São Paulo Research Foundation) approved Marco’s Undergraduate Reasearch scholarship. In this project, Marco is going to investigate the physical-chemical properties of various peroxides and disulfides. His investigations will be performed experimentally employing NMR (Nuclear Magnetic Resonance Spectrometry) and IR (Infrared Spectroscopy), and theoretically using ab initio and DFT calculations. Some disulfides and…
The São Paulo Research Foundation (FAPESP) has a special grant for young researchers called “Young Investigator Award“. The Young Investigator Award aims to create job opportunities for highly qualified young researchers, especially in emerging research institutions in the State of São Paulo, Brazil. Prof. Rodrigo Cormanich’s project was selected and approved, and to celebrate that, the…
In July 2018, Prof. Rodrigo Cormanich presented his work entitled ‘Steric, electrostatic and hyperconjugative interactions in perfluorinated n-alkanes’ in the 22nd Internation Symposium on Fluorine Chemistry, which was held in the University of Oxford. In this work, Prof. Rodrigo Cormanich in collaboration with his PhD student, Luís Henrique, is trying to elucidate by means of…
This photo was taken on August 3rd 2018 and marks the beginning of the group. Although the group was already working on several research projects, prof. Cormanich was living in the US along a year for a postdoc and was advising the students only by email and (sometimes) Skype. As soon as he got back…
