Dr Gustavo F. Trindade is a Senior Scientist in the National Centre of Excellence in Mass Spectrometry Imaging (NiCE-MSI) at NPL. His current interests are in advancing measurement capabilities of the state-of-the-art OrbiSIMS to meet emerging challenges in life sciences, pharma, additive manufacturing, and organic semiconductors. Gustavo is a member of ISO TC 201 SC 6 (Mass Spectrometry), VAMAS TWA 2 and BSI CII/060 (Surface Chemical Analysis). He is also a member of the Institute of Physics (IOP), a member of the Brazilian Physical Society (SBF) and a committee member of the UK Surface Analysis Forum (UKSAF).
Gustavo has over 10 years of experience with secondary ion mass spectrometry with more than 50 published peer-reviewed papers. In 2022, Gustavo was awarded the Vickerman Prize by the UKSAF, given to scientists whose work is anticipated to have a major impact in the field of surface analysis. In 2023, Gustavo was featured as one of CellPress Matter’s 35 researchers under 35 tackling challenges in materials science.
Biography
Gustavo obtained his BSc and MSc in Physics from the University of Sao Paulo (2011, 2013) where he worked with ion beam analysis of polymer materials modified for biocompatibility. He then worked as a graduate fellow at the same university on the analysis of minerals in teeth enamel of children born preterm and full term (2013-2014). Gustavo completed his PhD in Materials Science from the University of Surrey (2018), working mainly with secondary ion mass spectrometry and multivariate statistical data analysis to solve various industry-related problems such as surface plasma treatment of automotive grade polymers, food packaging adhesives and polyester coatings. Before joining NPL in 2021, Gustavo worked at the University of Nottingham (2018-2021) on the development of analytical methods for the micro/nano scale study of materials interface in multi-functional additive manufacturing, with applications in the electronics and pharmaceutical industries, collaborated on the measurement of proteins by OrbiSIMS and led an international collaboration (Nottingham, NPL, Sao Paulo and CERN) on the analysis and fabrication of micro patterned radiation detectors used in high energy physics experiments.
