Antonio Eduardo da Hora Machado received his B.S., M.S. and Ph.D. (Physical Chemistry) degrees (the last in 1991) by the Institute of Physics and Chemistry of São Carlos (Nowadays, Institute of Chemistry of São Carlos), Universidade de São Paulo, Brazil. He was Assistant Professor at Universidade Estadual Paulista "Julio de Mesquita Filho (UNESP), Rio Claro, São Paulo, Brazil, from 1986 to 1989. Professor at the Federal University of Uberlandia since 1989. Currently works in the career of Associate Professor. Productivity Research Fellow of the National Council for Scientific and Technological Development (CNPq, Brazil), since 1993. Developed post-doctoral studies in the Department of Organic Chemistry, Universidade Federal do Rio de Janeiro, under the supervision of Professor David Ernest Nicodem, and studies of shorter duration at the Université Bordeaux, France, and Deutsches Zentrum Für Luft und Raumfahrt eV, DLR, Germany. He has experience in areas of chemistry, with emphasis on Organic Photochemistry, Spectroscopy and Applications of Quantum Chemistry, acting on the following topics: photocatalysis, application of quantum mechanics in the study, characterization, quantification and prediction of physical parameters and design of complex molecular systems (optical brighteners, photosensitizers applicable in photomedicine, compounds with relevant nonlinear optical characteristics, associations photosensitizing dye/ semiconductor oxide for photocatalysis and energy conversion). Since 1986 has supervised 101 research students in different levels (Scientific Initiation, M.S. and Ph.D. degrees, and Post-Doctoral studies). Since then, about 67 research publications and 252 scientific communications have appeared in the literature. He has active collaborations with several Brazilian and international laboratories.
