Marcos Henrique Luciano Silveira have both undergraduate (B.Sc.) and post-graduate (M.Sc. and Ph.D.) degrees in Chemistry. He earned the PhD from Federal University of Paraná - UFPR (Curitiba, Brazil) in 2014 working on the development of new pretreatment technologies of sugarcane bagasse for clean sugars production. Dr. Silveira has also worked for one year at Technical Research Center of Finland - VTT (Finland) as visiting scientist to investigate the mechanism of biomass hydrolysis. For the scientific outcome, recently he won the National Award from VALE-CAPES, Brazilian Government funding agency in Science and Sustainability. He also worked as a post-doctoral researcher at Chemical Engineering Department of UFPR on applied statistics in process optimization. He has published 13 papers and 3 book chapters. Currently, he is working at the Sugarcane Technology Center (CTC-Piracicaba) as a Scientific Researcher to investigate the mechanism of enzymatic degradations of cellulose for the integrated production of sugars and platform chemicals.
