Campinas ElectroChemistry Group
Focusing on Electrocatalysis and Interfacial Processes
Welcome
In the Campinas Electrochemistry Group – PSF we are interested in studying fundamental aspects of electrochemistry, mainly focusing on the field of electrocatalysis. The main aim of our group is to understand interfacial processes from a microscopic point of view using a multi-technique approach.
Thus, we used electrochemical, spectroscopic and chromatographic techniques (among others), with the aim of studying the activity of different catalysts for several (photo)(electro)chemical reactions.
We work with other research groups to provide the best solutions

Pablo S. Fernández received his B.Sc (2006) and Ph.D. (2011) in the Research Institute of Theoretical and Applied Physical Chemistry (INIFTA) at the University of La Plata, La Plata, Argentina under the supervision of Profa. Maria E. Martins. During 2012-2014 he was a postdoctoral fellow at the same institution. In 2014 he joined the Electrochemistry Group at the Chemistry Institute of São Carlos, USP, where he worked as a Postdoc with Prof. Germano Tremiliosi-Filho until August of the same year when he was appointed Assistant Professor at the Chemistry Institute of the University of Campinas (UNICAMP). Between 2010 and 2013 he visited the group of Prof. Giuseppe Câmara (UFMS-MS) where he worked intensively with FTIR in situ. From 07/2015 to 03/2016 he joined the Catalysis and Surface Chemistry Group, at the University of Leiden (The Netherlands) working under the supervision of Prof. M.T.M. Koper. He is currently an Associate Professor at Unicamp, head of the Campinas Electrochemistry Group (CampEG) and an active member at the Center for Innovation on New Energies (CINE). He was the Director of the Physical Chemistry Division of SBQ (Brazilian Chemical Society, 2020-2022). Since 2020 is the Brazilian representative of the SIBAE (Ibero-American Society of Electrochemistry). His research focuses on fundamental aspects of electrochemistry and electrocatalysis with an emphasis on the use and development of in situ characterization tools.
" At CampEG, we cultivate a holistic approach towards learning, and blending rigorous scientific inquiry in fundamental electrochemistry with a deep commitment to our students' personal and intellectual growth, focusing on pioneering research that powers the energy transition. "
