Biography and Research Information

OverviewAI-generated summary

Marcelo Assis is a researcher at Southern Arkansas University, holding a FAPESP Fellowship. His work investigates the synthesis and application of nanomaterials, with a particular focus on their photocatalytic, virucidal, and antibacterial properties. His research explores the development of composite materials, such as SiO2-Ag, for rapid elimination of viruses like SARS-CoV-2, and heterojunction thin films like CuWO4|MnWO4 for improved photoelectrochemical and photocatalytic responses under simulated solar irradiation.

Assis also studies the integration of materials like palygorskite with metal oxides, such as CuWO4, for enhanced photocatalytic activity. His work extends to the characterization of materials for electrochemical sensing, including the use of Super P carbon black and chitosan composites for sensitive determination of macrolide antibiotics. Furthermore, his research examines the time-dependent effects of nanomaterials, like carbon nanofibers and silver nanoparticles, on cellular functions including cytotoxicity, proliferation, and gene expression.

With a career marked by high citation counts (h-index: 30, total citations: 2,796) and a substantial publication record (187 total publications), Assis collaborates with researchers from Southern Arkansas University and the University of Arkansas at Fayetteville. He maintains an active laboratory website to disseminate his research findings.
