Researcher at CICECO-University of Aveiro from Portugal · Aveiro
I graduated in Industrial Chemistry (2006, UA) and completed my MSc in Analytical Chemistry (2007, UA). I completed the PhD in Nanosciences and Nanotechnology (2013, UA) under nanocomposites for SERS. Over this time, I developed vast chemical synthesis experience of composites, metal colloids, and biodetection. My research was recognized by Phantoms Foundation, receiving the Imaginenano ¿ Nanospain Conf. Travel Award (2011) and TNT2012 Fees Award (2012). From 2014 to 2017, I received a FCT postdoc fellowship to begin a research line that combines nanomaterials and Raman spectroscopy applied to sustainable nanotechnologies. I have developed a new research line at CICECO on non-trivial Raman methods for nanoscale characterization in an analytical chemistry context applied to health/environmental sectors. I have been the principal operator of the first RCM/AFM in Portugal, located at CICECO, providing scientific support. Since December 2017, I am a contracted researcher at CICECO. In the last 5 years (2014-present, with 4+5 months gaps for maternity leave), I co-supervised 2 MSc students (FAME Master-2015; Chemistry-2019), 1 research student (2017). My work was published in reputable journals on Materials Science (Talanta IF=5.3, Nanomaterials IF=4.3) and specialized journals (J Raman Spectrosc). My work on Raman imaging applied to dyeing textiles fibres was internationally recognized by WITec Silver Award-2017 for original/innovative research using RCM, and the Royal Society of Chemistry selected my critical review for journal cover (Phys Chem Chem Phys IF=3.4). I have 11 papers as first author (6 as corresponding author), including a book chapter (IntechOpen), 16 collaborative papers in several areas (catalyze, water quality monitoring, medicine) and 8 oral communications (1 invited talk, 2020). I have collaborated with an international scientific group within Instituto de Catalisis y Petroleoquímica/Spain (1 collaborative paper). I have contributed to a co-promotion project with Bosch Termotechnology (1 collaborative paper). I am a team member on COST action (CA19118, 2020-24), and I have participated in research training on WITec Headquarters in Ulm/Germany (2014, 2019). I was a member of an international academic jury of PhD degree (UAMadrid, 2019). I am currently a Topic Editor of Sensors ((ISSN 1424-8220), Guest Editor of the Special Issue "Nanostructured Materials Systems for Optical Sensing" and member of the Reviewer Board of Biosensors (ISSN 2079-6374). I have participated in the radio broadcasting "Os Dias do Futuro-A investigação e a inovação" concerning the application of Nanotechnology into the textile industry. Overall, I have co-authored 40 papers in SCI-indexed journals and 1 book chapter, summing nearly 500 citations and an h-index 12 (Scopus) and 1 national patent (submitted, 2020). I was a team member of 1 research project (56000 EUR from FCT, 2008-10) and a member of the organizing committees of 8th Inorg Chem Conf (Portugal, 2009) and RICI8 (Portugal, 2019).Solutions Lead - Technology Scouting, Monitoring, Assessment at The Quaestio from India · Mumbai
