Doctor |
My research line is in molecular biology applied to the identification of microorganisms with biotechnological interest. By isolation, culture and DNA analysis through gene sequencing it is possible to identify species of fungi and bacteria. The species that present biotechnological potential are analyzed for the identification of substances with a biotechnological application, mainly in agriculture. |

douglascoutinho@utfpr.edu.br |
Doctor |
Our group is dedicated to the study of electrical and optical properties of conductive, semiconductive and organic insulators thin films. Those thin films are used in the construction of organic electronic devices such as: organic photovoltaics (OPVs), field-effect transistors (OFETs) and biosensors (OECTs). Currently we are focused on the development of organic field-effect transistors and organic electrochemical transistors for biosensors application. |

martins@utfpr.edu.br |
Doctor |
My research interests are focused on pattern recognition and machine learning, and their application in the resolution of problems for which there is low availability of human expertise and which manual process is subjective, time-consuming, repetitive, and produces low recognition rates. Such problems have their data captured by different instruments and are represented through texts, audios, images and videos, among others. |
