Eberlin discovered the Eberlin reaction during his work on gas-phase ion chemistry.[2] He and his research group introduced EASI (Easy Ambient Sonic-spray Ionization), an ionization technique used in mass spectrometry.[3]
Eberlin is an advocate of intelligent design in Brazil,[4][5] on which he also lectures and he has signed the Dissent From Darwinism statement.[6][7] He is a creationist also, and has said that evolution theory is a fallacy.[8]
His daughter, Livia S. Eberlin,[9] is also a chemist who won the MacArthur "Genius" Fellowship in 2018 for her research on the use of mass spectrometry to diagnose cancer.[10] Eberlin and his daughter have worked together on a different project, using mass spectrometry to detect counterfeit money.[9]
