Leonardo Silva Santos received is PhD from Unicamp University, Brazil, in 2003, working under the direction of Dr. A.R. Pilli. Following his PhD, Leonardo took up a postdoctoral position at the Thomson Mass Spectrometry Laboratory at the University of Campinas, where alongside Dr. M. Eberlin he established ESI-MS-based mechanistic studies in Brazil. He spent a time working as a Postdoc in the group of Jürgen Metzger at the Carl von Ossietzky University before moving to Chile. He is currently Full Professor at the Institute of Chemistry and Natural Resources at Talca University (Chile) and established the Laboratory of Asymmetric Synthesis. He is involved with the establishment of the Fraunhofer Institute in Chile and will head the chemistry group associated with the use of nanotechnology in agriculture. Professor Santos has published over 70 articles in the last four years, holds two international patents and has received numerous international honors and awards.

"In summary, this is a good source for researchers looking to utilize mass spectrometry for detecting reactive species in organic and organometallic reactions or for studying their mechanisms. It would be a worthwhile acquisition for libraries and individual scientists alike." (Journal of the American Chemical Society, November 2010)
