Biography:

MSc Otavio Augusto Chaves was born in Sao Paulo-Brazil (1992) and nowadays he is Professor of the Department of Chemistry at Federal Rural University of Rio de Janeiro (UFRRJ-Brazil).
He obtained his Master of Science degree in Chemistry at UFRRJ and he obtained his double graduation in Chemistry at UFRRJ and University of Coimbra (UC-Portugal).
He has scientific collaborations with national and international research groups (IME, USP, UFRJ, INMETRO, UERJ, UFRN, UENF, UFSM, UC and Ahalia School of Pharmacy).
His research focus is centered on the interaction between commercial and potential drugs with serum albumins by spectroscopic analysis (UV-Vis absorption, circular dichroism, STD-NMR, zeta potential, FTIR-ATR, steady-state, time-resolved, 3D and synchronous fluorescence) and computational methods (molecular docking, molecular dynamics and semi-empirical calculations), as well as the determination of photophysics and photochemistry properties of synthetic compounds.
