Ana Almeida has a PhD in Ciência e Engenharia de Materiais (2021) , MSc in Biotecnology (2009) and BSc in Applied Chemistry (2007) by NOVA FCT. Published 14 articles in high impact factor peer-reviewed journals and 1 section of book. Organized 3 scientific events. Co-supervised 5 MSc dissertation(s) and 1 work of course completion of LSc/BSc. Has received 4 awards and/or honors. Participated as PhD Student Fellow in 2 projects, as Research Fellow in 5 projects and Researcher in 1 project. Recently she was awarded a research grant - Project ref. 2022.01619.PTDC - DynaCellCollect: Dynamically responsive micro/nano helical shaped membranes for water droplet collection to pursuit her line of research as a PI. She is also a Work Group leader, Management Committee and Core Group member in the COST Action CA 21159 - PhoBioS. Currently she is a Junior researcher (CEEC - 6th Edition) in the LAQV-Requimte in the Chemistry Department, NOVA School of Science & Technology and colaborador member of CENIMAT|i3N. Her research focuses on the development and application of biomimetic materials, with a particular emphasis on membranes, fiber-based materials, and responsive systems. She is dedicated to designing and producing advanced biomaterials for use in technological and medical fields, using sustainable materials inspired by nature’s sophisticated designs and mechanisms. Supervision of Master students and activities as Teaching Assistant of theoretical and lab classes granted not only scientific abilities and knowledge but also soft-skills such as communication, mentoring, project and time management, problem solving & decision-making.
