Diploma Engineer in Mechanical Engineering (5 year course Pre-Bolonha) in 2001, MSc in Mechanical Engineering ¿ Energy (Pre-Bolonha) in 2004 and PhD in Mechanical Engineering in 2009, Ana Moita was FCT Investigator (IF/00810/2015) in IN+/LARSyS since December 2016. She was FCT fellow (pos-doc fellowships SFRH/BPD/63788/2009 for 6years+ SFRH/BPD/109260/2015 for 2years) also in IN+/LARSyS. Her post-doc activities addressed control strategies of transport phenomena at liquid-solid interfaces, for multiphase flows. Ana Moita is an assistant professor in the Portuguese Military Academy since March 2020. A.S. Moita developed a strong background in wettability modification strategies, including micro-and-nanostructuring techniques applied to surface modification. In the last years, particularly in the context of her FCT Investigator research contract, she has deepened these activities for microscale applications, towards devising microfluidic devices for thermal (energy conversion) and biomedical applications. PI/co-Pi of 4 national projects (2016-2021), PI of 2 Transregional projects (2017-2020) and team leader of a Marie-Curie Project (2012-2016), Ana Moita is an experienced researcher who participated in the team of other 3 national+3 European projects. She is responsible of the Laboratory of Interfacial plus Microscale Phenomena in IN+/LARSYS. Currently she has several projects in collaboration with the industry including a large project with UFRJ - Brasil and Petrobrás, towards the development of a microchannel based heat sink to cool high concentration photovoltaic pannels. Through her work and scientific recognition she gained support from a strong national and international network including MIT, UT Austin, INESC-MN, INL, ITLR-Stuttgart University, where she was an invited researcher between 2010-2013, The University of Nottingham, Bergamo University, University of Rome Tor Vergata, Brighton University, Key Lab of Bionic Engineering in China, U. Macau Southampton Solent University, CSI, Darmstadt University, Oregon State University, Brno University of Technology, UFRJ and University S. Paulo Brasil. In November 2019, Ana Moita was invited to lecture a post-graduation course in Faculdade de Engenharia de São Carlos, Universidade de S. Paulo, Brazil (ref.: SEM5949, in the PhD course of Mechanical Engineering) entitled: "Microfluidic solutions to improve the performance of energy conversion systems". Being the supervisor of 6 PhD's (4 in progress), more than 50 Master Thesis , 3 Bachelor Thesis and 8 working stages (collaborative international programmes), A.S. Moita regularly lectures Thermodynamics, Fluid Mechanics, Heat and Mass Transfer, Energy and Mass Transfer, Experimental Methods in Energy and Environment among other subjects. The quality of her scientific work has been recognized by the scientific community. A.S. Moita was an invited lecturer in 12 international conferences/workshops in the last 5years. Also, A.S. Moita has been an invited lecturer for seminars in several international and national universities. She received 4 awards/distinctions. She is reviewer for numerous international conferences, more than 70 journals and 5 funding agencies (including ESA projects), being part of the scientific and or technical committee of 22 international conferences/workshops. She is the Newsletter Editor of ILASS-Europe since 2010, member of ISBE, INSTICC and Sociedade Portuguesa de Biomecânica. A.S. Moita published 8 book chapters, 76 peer reviewed journal papers, most in Q1 and Q2 journals and 130 conference papers (H=23, 1840 citations by 17 Jan 2024). More than half of these works was published in the last 5years. She is Guest-Editor in 5 SI's in Applied Science, Energies and Symmetry, journals from MDPI and part of the Editorial board of Heat Transfer Journal and of Experimental Thermal and Fluid Science, Elsevier, since august 2022.
