Caroline Raquel Bender 

I am Adjunct Professor in Federal University of Santa Maria (UFSM – Brazil). I was professor at Federal University of Pampa (UNIPAMPA – Brazil) from 2018 to 2022. I am graduated in Chemistry and Industrial Chemistry from UFSM. I have Master and Ph.D. in the area of Organic Chemistry from the same University, were I worked with the aggregation behavior of ionic liquids and hetero-assembly studies between ILs and additives (e.g., drugs, oxides nanoparticles, and polymers). During the Ph.D., I did sandwich doctorate for 6 months at the University of Aveiro (Portugal), to use SSNMR to elucidate intermolecular interactions. I have experience in the synthesis of new compounds (e.g., heterocycles and ILs) used as models in structural and physicochemical studies. I am interested in studies related to organic physical chemistry, studies of interactions between different components and in the area of NMR (solid and liquid states). I had projects related to scientific dissemination and the importance of women in this context. In my free time a like to spend time with my family, friends and my little dog Teka. I also enjoy to know different places and watch movies and series.
