Currently, I am a European Research Area Postdoctoral Fellow (ERA-PF) funded under the application to the Marie Sklodowska-Curie Actions (MSCA)-PF 2021 call. I started this position in March 2023 at the University of Aveiro/CICECO, where I am developing sustainable porous silicas for optimal CO2 uptake from biogas. I hold a degree in Chemistry (2009) and a Master's in Chemistry in the field of Chemical and Industrial Processes (2010) from the University of Coimbra. In December 2016, I obtained my Ph.D. in Materials Science and Engineering at the University of Aveiro (UA). During this period, I focused my research activities on developing new functionalized periodic mesoporous organosilica for different adsorption and catalysis applications, combining computational and experimental methods. In 2018, I spent 2.5 years as a postdoctoral researcher in Prof. C.F. Pirri’s group at the Istituto Italiano di Tecnologia (IIT) - Center for Sustainable Future Technologies (CSFT) in Italy. There, I developed carbon-based materials for environmental uses such as gas adsorption/separation and catalytic CO2 reduction. From May 2021 to May 2022, I was a researcher at CICECO - Aveiro Institute of Materials, working on the synthesis and structural analysis of functionalized porous silicas for CO2 adsorption-separation in the EU-funded NMR4CO2 project, led by Dr. L. Mafra. In November 2021, I received a Junior Researcher grant from the Portuguese Foundation for Science and Technology (FCT) to focus on biogas upgrading using biomass waste. In March 2022, I was awarded the ERA-PF grant, which includes 2 international secondments: 1 at the University of Iceland in Reykjavik and another at SINTEF Industry in Oslo, Norway. My international collaboration has increased through involvement as a research member in the European COST actions HINT, NETPORE, and TrANsMIT. Currently, I serve as the Junior WG4 Leader in the NETPORE COST ACTION. In September 2023, I received funding for a short-term scientific mission through TrANsMIT to continue my research at the University of Iceland. As part of my ERA-PF grant, I completed a 5-week secondment at SINTEF Industry in Norway in June 2024. My work has been recognized with several national and international awards (11 awards to date). For example, in 2018, I was honored as one of the top three Ph.D. theses in the Best Doctoral Thesis Award in Catalysis - Ramôa Ribeiro and invited to represent Portugal in the EFCATS Young Scientist Contest, where our team won the best project. In 2022, I received the CICECO Young Researcher Award. Recently, our research group, including Dr. L. Mafra, Dr. M. Sardo, Dr. I. Montesinos, and Dr. R. Vieira, won the UA Researcher Award in April 2024. I was also awarded the Ramôa Ribeiro Young Researcher Award in May 2024 and the Junior FISOCAT 2024 award in July 2024. Additionally, my university invited me to join the internal MSCA-PF evaluation panel in April 2024 to enhance applications from potential MSCA-PF candidates at UA. Despite my early career stage, I have established myself as an independent researcher with an h-index of 17 and over 700 citations on Scopus. I have authored or co-authored 41 ISI papers, with 17 as the first author and 11 as the corresponding author, published in high-impact journals like Carbon and the Chemical Engineering Journal (CEJ), along with two book chapters. I have also presented my research in over 60 oral and poster communications at national and international conferences and served on the organizing committee for 3 conferences. I have secured my funding as the principal investigator for the GRACE project (ERA-PF grant), the SWAN project (CEEC Junior), 2 computational FCT-funded projects (A0 and A1 type), 1 short-term scientific mission (from TrANsMIT COST Action), and 4 conference travel grants (from HINT and NETPORE COST Actions). Over the past two years, I have supervised a variety of students and fellows.
