Hey, how’s it going? My name is Vítor and I am the owner and main writer of Study All Day.
I started to be interested in writing on the internet back in 2008, when I made a virtual diary. Then, in 2014, I made an anime and games blog. However, my work on the internet started around 2017.
I will tell you a little about my personal, professional and academic life.
Academic life

1. Graduation (Bachelor)
I entered college in 2012 when I was only 17 years old. I graduated with a Bachelor’s degree in Chemistry from the Souza Marques University.
Graduate Diploma (Bachelor of Chemistry)
2. Teacher Training
Then, I did the Special Program for Teacher Training in Chemistry, regulated by Ordinance MEC nº 640/2016, also by the Souza Marques University.
Teacher Training Program Certificate
3. Master’s
Master’s Degree (Polymer Science and Technology)
In 2015, I entered my Masters in Science and Technology of Polymers at the Institute of Macromolecules Professora Eloísa Mano, at the Federal University of Rio de Janeiro. At the time, I was still in my final year of college! I was the youngest in the class, only 20 years old.
As a result of my master’s degree, I presented the dissertation with the title “Synthesis and Characterization of Graftized Copolymer and Poly(Butylene Succinate) and Poly(Hydroxypropyl Methacrylate) and its use as a Meloxicam Transdermal Controlled Release System”. You may check out my dissertation by clicking here.
In addition, my master’s degree yielded me the following scientific works:
DA COSTA, VITOR C.; DE SOUZA PINTO, GABRIEL L. ; NASCIMENTO, MARIA V. F. ; DE CAMPOS, VÂNIA E. B. ; DE SOUZA JUNIOR, FERNANDO G. . Poly (Butylene Succinate)-g-Poly(Hydroxypropyl Methacrylate) as a New Meloxican Delivery System. MACROMOLECULAR SYMPOSIA (ONLINE)

In addition, I had several participations in congresses and participated in the co-supervision of a scientific initiation student.
4. PhD
Concluding my master’s degree at 22, I immediately entered the doctorate, at the same institution (Doctorate in Science and Technology of Polymers at the Institute of Macromolecules Professora Eloísa Mano, at the Federal University of Rio de Janeiro).
I completed my doctorate at just 26 years old, an amazing achievement! In order to obtain a doctorate, I presented my thesis entitled “Smart Core-Shell Polymeric System to Promote Self-Healing in Concrete”. The work was written in English and you can check it out by clicking here.
In addition, I produced the following works:
COSTA, V.C.; SOUZA JUNIOR, F. G. D. ; SOUZA, L. C. ; Toledo Filho, R. D. . Core-Shell system based on Gelatin and Poly(vinyl Alcohol) (PVA) for Concrete Self-healing Applications: Synthesis, Characterization and Optimization. MACROMOLECULAR SYMPOSIA (ONLINE), 2020.

In addition, I made several presentations at national and international conferences, in addition to having co-supervised a scientific initiation student.
Professional life
See a little more of the work I’ve developed over time:
1. Projects on the Internet
As I have always been in love with books and subjects related to philosophy, psychology and others, in 2017 I started a personal blog to share my study subjects. I made a blog on the Medium platform, which nowadays does not exist, but many texts were posted here.
I also own Casa do Estudo, a blog in portuguese about studies, and Podcast do Vítor, a podcast in portuguese about studies and productivity.
Last, but not least, I’m the owner of Mecha Fan, a blog about giant robots anime.
2. Work as a copywriter
Despite having my education in chemistry, I migrated to work as an internet writer. Currently, I have clients for whom I produce and revise texts focused on finance and business matters. Among my clients are O Novo Mercado, Suno, Gear SEO, Eduardo Costa, Vou Mudar Para Portugal, Canal do Holder and more.
Personal life
Let’s talk a little more about myself and some of the things I do:
I’m a regular reader of a wide range of topics: classic literature, philosophy, psychology, arts, productivity, finance and more! To learn more about my taste in books, check out my podcast and blog! There I do several book reviews.
Currently, I know four languages: Portuguese, English, French and Spanish. I am also learning to play the keyboard.
I also like manga, anime and games, which I treat as a hobby.
