Joana Azevedo earned a BSc (Honors) in Applied Chemistry from the University of the West of England, Bristol, in 1999. She later completed a Chemistry degree in 2004, an MSc in Chemistry in 2007, and a PhD in Environmental Sciences and Technology in 2019 at the Faculty of Sciences, University of Porto. Her expertise lies in developing and validating analytical methods using advanced techniques such as Liquid Chromatography-Mass Spectrometry (LC-MS) and Gas Chromatography-Mass Spectrometry (GC-MS). Her work spans both targeted and non-targeted analysis of cyanotoxins, hormones, pesticides, and drugs, and she has also contributed to identifying novel bioactive molecules through protocol development. During her PhD, Joana investigated the temporal dynamics of biofouling diversity using taxonomic and metagenomic approaches. Her research was pivotal in identifying 29 non-indigenous species in a major cargo ship port for the first time, offering valuable insights for implementing ongoing biofouling monitoring programs in ports and harbors. Joana focuses on recreational water safety, aiming to safeguard public health through improved legislation. Her future goals include advocating for enhanced year-round monitoring of aquatic systems by broadening the scope and type of analyses conducted. This work reflects her commitment to fostering safer, more sustainable public water resources.
