He held two-years (1987-1988) post-doc position with Bell Communications Research – New Jersey, USA and received his Doctoral degree in Solid State Physics (1986) from the Federal University of Minas Gerais – Brazil. He graduated in both Chemistry (1976) and Physics (1977) at UnB. Professor Morais is member of the Brazilian Physical Society and the Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers – IEEE. He has served as referee for more than 50 technical journals, takes part of the Editorial Board of more than 15 technical journals and has conducted research on nanomaterials for over 40 years. He has delivered 170 Invited Talks all over the World. He is known for his research in preparation, characterization and applications of nanosized materials (magnetic fluid, magnetoliposome, magnetic nanoemulsion, magnetic nanocapsule, magnetic nanofilm, magnetic nanocomposite, nanosized semiconductors, polymeric dots, carbon dots, and graphene quantum dots). With about 500 published papers in peer reviewed journals, more than 12,500 citations and 16 patents, he has appeared in recent World ranking of top scientists, such as 2020-Stanford, 2022-Research.com, 2023-AD Scientific Index, and 2023-Research.com.

Dr. Ali Nazemi grew up in Mianeh, Iran, and obtained his B.Sc. in Chemistry from K. N. Toosi University of Technology (Iran) in 2005. Then, he moved to Canada and completed his M.Sc. in Inorganic Chemistry at the University of Toronto with Prof. Datong Song (2009) and his Ph.D. at The University of Western Ontario with Prof. Elizabeth R. Gillies (2013). After his graduate studies, Ali first spent two years (2014−2016) in England as a Marie Curie Postdoctoral Research Fellow with Prof. Ian Manners at the University of Bristol and then came back to Canada at Queen’s University (2016−2017) to work with Prof. Cathleen M. Crudden as a postdoctoral fellow. In January 2018, Ali started his independent career as an assistant professor at Université du Québec à Montréal. His group focuses on design, synthesis, and self- assembly of novel polymeric and dendritic systems to fabricate nanomaterials for applications in nanomedicine and in catalysis.
