"Prof. Sylvio Canuto received his Bachelor´s and master´s degrees in Physics from the University of Brasilia (UnB). He obtained his doctoral degree in Quantum Chemistry in 1979 from the Uppsala University in Sweden. He is currently a Professor of Physics at the University of São Paulo and holds the position of Dean of Postgraduate Studies and Research in the same university. Prof. Canuto is a member of the Brazilian Academy of Sciences and the Third-World Academy of Sciences (TWAS). He has occupied several high-profile administrative positions in the academic sector that include the position of the area-coordinator of Physics and Astronomy of CAPES, the funding and administrative agency under Brazilian Ministry of Education, President of the Committee for Physics and Astronomy of the National Research Council of Brazil and Chairman of the Atomic and Molecular Physics Committee at the Brazilian Physical Society. He is the current editor of Spectrochimica Acta A and acts on the editorial advisory board of several other international scientific journals. Prof. Canuto has authored more than 275 peer-reviewed papers with ca. 5700 citations. His research interests broadly lie in the area of electronic structure of atoms and molecules both isolated and in solvent environment with a special emphasis on the properties, reactivity, and spectroscopy of organic molecules, molecular liquids and the influence of solvent effects. He is considered an expert in studying molecular liquids using theoretical methods that combine classical simulation methods and quantum mechanics at the semi-empirical or ab initio level.
