Erick Lacerda

I have an analytical and collaborative profile, focused on solutions that integrate technological innovation with scientific efficiency. Fluency in technical reading in English enhances my ability to work in multidisciplinary and global environments, as well as to engage with the state of the art of contemporary technologies and their economic context.

Experience in the development of polyamide 6.6 and 5.6 textile yarns from recycled polymer, with direct involvement in spinning, texturizing, and physicochemical characterization of the material. Participation in the screening, analysis, and prospecting of recyclable materials, as well as in the quotation and testing of equipment focused on polymer separation and identification. Preparation of technical reports, interaction with suppliers and clients, and collaboration on innovation projects focused on the industrial feasibility of sustainable polymers.

Execution of experimental tests focused on mechanical performance and yarn stability, contributing to the implementation of solutions applicable to the textile recycling production chain.

Bachelor’s degree in Chemistry from UFLA with 5 years of experience in academic research, working in the fields of fundamental chemistry, biopolymers, and chemometrics applied to physical chemistry.

Experience in molecular simulations, modeling of physicochemical properties, and statistical analysis of experimental data. Familiar with tools such as Gaussian, Avogadro, and Chimera, as well as knowledge in scientific programming with Python applied to laboratory and computational problems.

Three academic publications in the Journal of Inclusion Phenomena and Macrocyclic Chemistry
