A.I. Gomes holds a graduation in Biology (2003), from the Faculty of Science, Univ. of Porto (FCUP), a master's degree in Environmental Engineering (2007) and a PhD in Chemical and Biological Engineering (2021), both from the Faculty of Engineering (FEUP). She has a specialization as Occupational Hygiene and Safety (OHS) Superior Technician (2008) and complementary skills in Quality, Environment & OHS integrated management systems (IMS) implementation and auditing (2009-2011). Since 2023, A.I. Gomes is contracted as a junior researcher in LSRE-LCM, ALiCE, FEUP, within scientific domains focused on water quality monitoring (chemical, bacteriological and ecotoxicological characterization), water disinfection and wastewater treatment (biological processes, AOPs driven by natural and/or artificial radiation, ozone-based, and membrane technology). In the early research years (2004-2009), A.I. Gomes was involved in several environmental monitoring projects, including her MSc, regarding water/wastewater/sediments quality and biological/chemical/ecotoxicological quality parameters, and two R&D&I projects (1 national: SOLÁGUA, 1 international: FEUP/ENEL/2009), both in partnership with private companies (Águas do Douro e Paiva, S.A. and ENEL S.p.A.) and related to the development of environmental-friendly technologies for pollution control (solar water disinfection and bio-based CO2 capture/storage). On solar technologies, a research stay was made at the Plataforma Solar de Almeria, Spain. Before the PhD (2010-2014), she worked as an IMS consultant and trainer, accumulated >1000 hours of training courses given in several private entities, supervised 6 final internships/reports and was a jury member on defences to obtain the OHS Superior Technician degree. Since 2015, her scientific activity involved her PhD, developed under the AdvancedLFT project jointly with EFACEC and SULDOURO landfill, and that led her to be an active team member of a transnational cooperation project (DRI/CAPES 5431) with the Federal Univ. of Ceará (Brazil). From 2019 to 2021, A.I. Gomes had a research grant under a European project (NOR-WATER, collaborating directly with CIIMAR-UP, Univ. of Santiago de Compostela, and CETMAR), focused on CECs removal from secondary treated urban wastewaters by application of different AOPs/photoreactors. In 2022, she held a postdoc grant under the Healthy Waters project and was involved in the SERPIC project (from the Joint Programming Initiative Water Challenges for a Changing World, in close collaboration with the Univ. of Castilla-La Mancha, Norwegian Inst. for Water Research, Águas de Portugal and Fraunhofer Inst.). In 2023 she was hired as a junior researcher in LSRE-LCM, ALiCE, FEUP, assisting projects within the scope of wastewater technologies/treatment/reuse, such as SERPIC, BlueWWater (INTERREG), and NEWater (Water4All) and consultancy services. She now has 22 ISI papers (9 as the first author and 6 as the corresponding author; 95% of them in Q1), 1 paper in national scientific journals and 15 in conference proceedings. A.I. Gomes has experience as an assistant in laboratory classes, completed the co-supervision of 2 MSc students (2017 and 2022) and 1 PhD (2023), assisted the experimental work of 8 international PhD students who carried out part of their thesis at FEUP and is currently co-supervising 2 PhD students. She was in the organization of the 2nd Summer School on Environmental Applications of AOPs (2017) and the NOR-WATER network webinar on Technologies for Remediation and Mitigation of Contaminants of Emerging Concern in Urban Wastewater (2021). Since 2015, she has been continuously involved in several dissemination activities as ExhibitionUP, Science and Technology Week and Engineer Profession Week. Recently, A.I. Gomes was a speaker at the webinar Clean Water & Nanomaterials for Photocatalysis (2021, CICECO, DQ UA) and at the Knowledge Transfer Seminar from BIGDATA 4RIVERS project (2022).
