Manuel E. G. Winkler holds a Ph.D. in Science from the State University of Maringá (Brazil), where he conducted his thesis on the development of Cu electrocatalysts on graphite felt for the selective reduction of CO2 and H2O to CO and H2. He joined the Electrocatalysis for Sustainable Energy Conversion team at the Institute of Chemistry of the State University of Campinas (Brazil) in 2022 as a post-doctoral researcher. In 2023, he received a Young Investigators Grant from the São Paulo Research Foundation (FAPESP), in collaboration with the National Council for Scientific and Technological Development (CNPq), to investigate Co and Cu-based oxides as electrocatalysts for the electroreduction of nitrate to ammonia. Manuel is a visitiing researcher in our group from September to December 2024. His research will focus on studies of Co and Cu dissolution during nitrate electroreduction using an electrochemical scanning flow cell (SFC) coupled to an inductively coupled plasma mass spectrometer (ICP-MS).
