Julio Terra

Julio is originally from Brazil, where he took his B.Sc. in chemistry (research and teaching degrees), and his M.Sc. in inorganic chemistry. He lives now in Montreal, Canada, where he is currently a Ph.D. candidate at McGill University in the group of Professor Audrey Moores. His research focuses on the development of novel catalytic processes in the context of green chemistry. Specifically, Julio is interested in designing hierarchical silica-based nanostructures to be used as active supports in catalysis. He is also interested in science education and communication.
