Shirley Nakagaki studied Chemistry at University of S茫o Paulo at Ribeir茫o Preto Campus - USP - S茫o Paulo (1982-1985). She received her Master degree from the UNESP - University of the State of S茫o Paulo at Araraquara, in 1988 and PhD from the same University in 1993, under the supervision of Professor Yassuko Iamamoto. She conducted her postdoctoral research at the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign (UIUC) under the supervision of Professor Kenneth S. Suslick, working with Microporous Porphyrin Solids (2002-2003). She acted as a visiting professor at the University of Kyoto (1995) and the Institut de Chimie de Clermont-Ferrand (ICCF) at the Universit茅 Clermont Auvergne (2016 and 2019). She was selected for the Assistant Professorship at Federal University of Paran谩 State at Curitiba in 1992, where she tenured and became Full Professor in 2015.
Her main interests lie in the study of metalloporphyrins and preparation of catalytic species for heterogeneous process for oxidation reaction, sequential reaction and esterification reaction, based on immobilization of catalytic species on solids like mesoporous silicas, layered compounds and different metal oxides.
Shirley was the director of the Inorganic division of the Brazilian Chemical Society 鈥揝BQ (2014-2017), Brazilian Chemical Society board and consultive council member (2018-2020) and SBQ incoming president-elect (2022-2024).
