Nicole Viana Ferreira holds a degree in Chemistry (2019) and has completed a Master's in Analytical Chemistry and Quality Control in 2021 at the University of Aveiro. In 2019 she obtained a Research Technician Scholarship at the Central Laboratory of Analysis of the University of Aveiro (LCA) within the scope of the CICECO Project-Institute of Materials of Aveiro, (Ref. FCT UID/CTM/50011/2019), in 2020 she obtained a Research Scholarship under the scope of the Project CICECO-Institute of Materials of Aveiro, (Refª. FCT UIDB/50011/2020) to develop, validate and implement chemical methods for sample preparation and analysis by Inductively Coupled Plasma. After finishing her master thesis (2021) she obtained a research grant in the Co-promotion project called MARemPó - Water from brine as a sustainable source of compounds for the development of commercial products for aquaculture (POCI-01-0247-FEDER-0047200). Her current scientific interests include method validation, implementation of accreditation in testing laboratories, quality assurance in testing laboratories, fortification of essential minerals in marine macroalgae, removal of classical contaminants (e.g., Hg), and the recovery of high economic value elements (e.g., rare earths) using living macroalgae. Since 2017, she has actively participated in the dissemination of knowledge in schools and in the community, organizing various seminars, workshops and other events (e.g., Junior Chemistry Olympics, Chemistry Olympics + and Techdays). Nicole Ferreira (h-index=5; 50 citations) is the author of 13 scientific articles in international peer-reviewed journals, of which 2 is the main author, and in 11 scientific communications (7 national and 4 international), of which 4 is the main speaker.
