Ronaldo Censi Faria is a Full Professor (Professor Titular) in the Department of Chemistry at Universidade Federal de São Carlos (UFSCar). He earned his undergraduate degree in Chemistry from UFSCar in 1992, followed by a master's degree in Analytical Chemistry from the same institution in 1995 and a doctorate in Analytical Chemistry from UFSCar in 2000. He completed postdoctoral research at the University of Connecticut from 2011 to 2012 and served as a visiting researcher there in 2014.
His research focuses on the development of sensors, biosensors, and analytical methods for detecting biomarkers in biological fluids such as serum, plasma, saliva, and urine. This work supports the creation of simple, low-cost serological and molecular tests for diagnosing diseases including Alzheimer’s, leprosy (Hansen’s disease), cancer, COVID-19, and Zika. Faria has supervised graduate students in the Postgraduate Program in Chemistry at UFSCar and has contributed to innovation through multiple patents, some of which have been granted and licensed. He previously served as Associate Pro-Rector of Research for six years and as General Coordinator of FINEP-UFSCar agreements for eight years. One of his former advisees received the CAPES Thesis Award in 2024 for work on leprosy diagnostics.
