Bio and research interests
Dr. Marcileia Zanatta earned her Master’s (2014) and PhD (2017) degrees in Chemistry from the Federal University of Rio Grande do Sul (UFRGS), Brazil, with a primary focus on ionic liquids and catalysis. After completing her doctorate, she was awarded two postdoctoral fellowships from CNPq (Junior Postdoc, 2017) and FAPERGS (Talent Retention, 2018), both carried out at UFRGS. In 2018, she became an Assistant Professor at UFRGS. From 2019 to 2021, she held a Junior Researcher position at the Materials Research Center (CENIMAT|i3N), NOVA University Lisbon, Portugal. In 2021, she was awarded a Marie Skłodowska-Curie Individual Fellowship to conduct research at the Institute of Advanced Materials (INAM), Universitat Jaume I, Spain. In 2024, she received the prestigious La Caixa Junior Leader Fellowship. To date, Dr. Zanatta has received more than a dozen recognitions and research grants in countries including Spain, Poland, Brazil, and across the European Union. Notable distinctions include: (i) the Young Researchers Award from the Green Chemistry Group of the Royal Spanish Society of Chemistry (RSEQ-GEQV, 2024), (ii) being highlighted by Nature Index as one of four game-changing researchers in materials science (2024), (iii) being named a Rising Star in Materials Science by ACS Materials Au (2023), and (iv) selection among the top 5% of junior researchers worldwide for the Lindau Nobel Laureate Meeting (2022), representing both the Brazilian Academy of Sciences and the Lindau Nobel Foundation. Dr. Zanatta has authored publications in high-impact international journals such as Angewandte Chemie, Green Chemistry, and the Chemical Engineering Journal. Her research expertise lies at the intersection of Chemistry and Materials Science, with a strong focus on catalysis, CO₂ capture, and sustainable chemical transformations.
