Rosa Maria de Oliveira Quinta Ferreira, name for scientific publications Rosa M. Quinta-Ferreira graduated in Chemical Engineering at the University of Coimbra, Portugal, in 1975, received the DEA - Diplome d´Études Approffondies - from the Université Pierre et Marie Curie, Paris, France, in 1981 and the PhD degree in Chemical Engineering from the University of Porto, Portugal, in 1988 and had the Aggregation degree in 2015. Full Professor in the Department of Chemical Engineering at the University of Coimbra since 2018 and integrates the Group on Process and Environmental Engineering of the Chemical Engineering and Renewable Resources for Sustainability Research Centre (CERES) of the University of Coimbra. Published 188 papers in specialized scientific journals, 20 chapters of books and 250 communications to scientific meetings. Supervised/co-supervised 15 PhD thesis and 43 Master thsesis besides the supervison of 91 final scientific dissertations for graduation in chemical engineering in the pre-Bologna period (equivalent to the actual master thesis). Principal investigator of 11 projects and researcher in 13 other projects. As coordinator of the UC team, integrated a transnational bilateral cooperation project, was member of an EU FP6 project, an EU FP7 project and two POCTEP Portugal-Spain projects. The general research specialization domain is Reaction Engineering, including computational modeling, through phenomenological models and advanced Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD) frameworks, as well as experimental work dedicated to the environmental preservation from polluted liquid, gas and solid wastes. In particular, Advanced Oxidation Processes (AOPs) for liquid effluents treatment have been developed under the common denominator of heterogeneous catalysis, including wet oxidation, ozonation, Fenton´s, photo-assisted systems and electrochemical processes. Spin-off companies were created from her research group with the support of the research carried out in her laboratorial facilities. Advanced Biological Processes (ABPs) with innovative biofilms development embrace novel solutions targeting integrated strategies for environmental safeguarding. For VOCs decontamination, autothermal systems are investigated, whereas fly ashes recycling and composting methodologies are targeted as solid wastes valorization. Chemical, Environmental and Biotechnology Reaction Engineering are joint domains to search sound environmental technologies for the planet remediation. Health concerns about the effect of reactive oxygen species and oxidative stress on human welfare are reinforced within multidisciplinary biophysics and health sciences areas.
