Dr. Brenno A. D. Neto has conducted his independent research career since the end of 2006 when he finished his Ph.D. defending his Thesis. He is Professor of Organic and Medicinal Chemistry at the University of Brasilia (Chemistry Institute) and presently he manages his own research group. Nowadays, he is the Coordinator of the Laboratory of Medicinal and Technological Chemistry group. Currently, his research group comprises 8 Ph.D. students, 2 M.Sc. students and 7 undergraduate students. Already, 4 Ph.D., 7 M.Sc. and several undergraduate students have successfully graduated under his guidance. He published (independent publications) more than 50 articles after he finished his Ph.D. (all indexed at ISI and Scopus, and only a few as a collaborator) underpinning his research independence. Among his outputs, there are 4 reviews which underline the importance of his independent work.
Dr. Neto was also the Guest Editor of a Special Issue (hot topic) held in Current Organic Chemistry (2013, vol. 17, n. 3) thus showing the impact of his own work in the field of catalysis. He also works as a referee for about 35 international journals and has received some national and international awards such as:
- BMOS/RSC Young Investigator Award 2013
- Honourable Mention – Best Brazilian Thesis in Chemistry 2013. Category: Advisor.
- Petrobras Inventor Award for the best-filed patent in 2008.
- Best Thesis from the Graduate Program from the Chemistry Institute at the Federal University of Rio Grande do Sul (UFRGS), 2006.
