Ana Pimentel completed her PhD in Nanotechnologies and Nanscience in 2011 from the NOVA School of Science and Technology. In 2012, she started a position as Post-doctoral researcher at CENIMAT/I3N, on the synthesis of metal oxide nanoparticles to be used in different areas of applications, like UV and biosensors, photocatalysis, electrochromic devices. Between 2019 and 2023, she worked as an assistant researcher (CEEC 2017), with a focus on the solution-based synthesis of metal and metal oxides nanostructures. Currently, she is working as a principal researcher with a focus on Scanning-transmission electron microscopy analyses. She is the co-author of 77 peer-reviewed papers, 2 books and 4 book chapters in her researcher field, reaching an accumulated h-index of 32 in ResearcherID and Scopus, and 34 in Google Scholar, and a growing number of citations over the last 5 years (> 2200 citations, Google Scholar). Her current research focuses are: Hydrothermal synthesis assisted by microwave radiation; Spin-coating of thin films; metal oxides nanostructures grown on cellulosic and cork substrates; UV and biosensors; photocatalysis; antibacterial activity; and electrochromic applications.
