Personal profile
Biographical details
Renata Magueta received her undergraduate degree in Chemistry from the University of Campinas (Unicamp) - Brazil. She then continued her studies in the separation sciences, focusing on the development of a novel zirconized solid phase for solid phase extractions, under the supervision of Prof. Isabel C.S.F. Jardim, and graduated as a MSci in Analytical Chemistry also from the University of Campinas (Unicamp), in 2013.
She worked as an Analytical Chemist for the Institute of Chemistry in the University of Campinas (Unicamp) in Brazil, where gave technical and analytical support to students, academics and external users on ICP-OES, XRD, XRF and other analytical instrumentation. In 2019 she joined the Chemistry Department of King's College London where she gave technical support to the research laboratories. Most recently, she joined the London Metallomics Facility in KCL and focuses mainly in ICP-MS and correlated techniques. She is also a member of the RSC and was awarded with RSci status in 2021 in recognition of her professional achievements.
