I obtained my BSc in Chemical and Biological Engineering from Instituto Superior de Engenharia de Lisboa, Instituto Politécnico de Lisboa (ISEL IPL). During that time I visited Université d'Artois, France, for the Erasmus European University Dedicated to Biomolecules and Biopolymers, and started doing research (supervised by M.P.Robalo), which resulted in my 1st conference poster. After that, I received my MSc (with honors and got the Caixa Geral de Depósitos Award to the best MSc graduate from Chemical and Biological Engineering). I worked in collaboration with Instituto de Tecnologia Química e Biológica, Universidade Nova de Lisboa (ITQB NOVA), under the project PTDC/QUI/67175/2006 - Development of new macrocyclicbifunctional chelators for metalloradiopharmaceuticals. During those years, 6 papers were published on ACS, RSC, Elsevier and Chemistry Europe (3 as 1st author: 2 Inorg Chem, IF 5.436, Q1; 1 Dalton Trans, IF 4.569, Q1; 1 Tetrahedron, IF 2.457, Q1; 2 Eur J Inorg Chem IF 2.551, Q1). I also went to Mikkeli University, Finland, to work on the NEPTUNE Project - Network for Environmental Projects in Technology, UNited in Europe. Later, I was awarded a FCT PhD Fellowship SFRH/BD/89501/2012. My PhD contributed to project PTDC/QEQ-SUP/2718/2012 - Development of dinuclear Cu(II) and Zn(II) complexes as potential inhibitors of oncogenic protein-protein interactions. In 2014, I received the Matteo Bertero Memorial Award to the Best Poster Presentation at ISMEC, held on the Università degli Studi di Pavia, Italy. Afterwards, I was an Invited PhD Fellow at the Laboratory of Prof. Raphaël Tripier, in Université de Brest, France, and in 2018 I received my PhD in Chemistry (specialty Inorganic Chemistry, with Coordination and Supramolecular Chemistry as core fields, supervised by Prof. R. Delgado). My PhD related work resulted in 6 papers, published on ACS and RSC (4 as 1st author: 4 Inorg Chem, IF 5.436, Q1; 1 Dalton Trans, IF 4.569, Q1; 1 New J Chem IF 3.591, Q1). In 2018, I was awarded the MT Brandão | Metrohm Young Chemist Award. In Dec 2018 I started as an Assistant Researcher at FCiências.ID, working on the Mol2Cryst project - PTDC/QUIOUT/28401/2017, LISBOA-01-0145-FEDER-028401, from Prof. M.E. Minas da Piedade. Since then, I have collaborated with Centro de Química Estrutural (CQE), co-supervised 2 BSc and 1 MSc students from FCUL, and 1 IAESTE MSc trainee from U. of Glasgow. I was invited to argue a BSc project and to give lectures on Anion Binding. Overall, I published 1 BSc project, 2 theses (MSc & PhD), 15 papers (8 as 1st author), 1 dissemination article on the International Year of the Periodic Table (IYPT2019), enrolled in the curation of an online exposition "Crystals and their skeletons", participated in national and international conferences with 25 Posters (1 Award) and 9 Oral (2 Invited) presentations, organized 1 conference, and enrolled in several other outreach activities (as Science Open Days, the European Researchers' Night, events from InTeraQB, creating videos for YouTube based on scientific work, and by being invited for a Café Virtual by the ACS Tecnológico de Costa Rica Student Chapter - Outstanding 2019/2020 Award from ACS). In 2020 I successfully applied to the Lindau Nobel Laureate Meetings scientific exchange network, through Fundação Calouste Gulbenkian, and to ACS and RSC membership. I am also a member of the SPQ and of the editorial board of MDPI journal Crystals, ad hoc reviewing for 4 of their journals. In 2021 I have obtained a Royal Society of Chemistry Researcher Development Grant. I have published, in 2022, my first manuscript as correspondent author in RSC (New J Chem IF 3.591, Q1). In early 2023 I worked on IPaintS Project and got a RSC Researcher Development and Travel Grant. Currently, I am an Invited Assistant Professor at Escola Superior de Tecnologia do Barreiro, Instituto Politécnico de Setúbal (ESTB IPS) and a Junior Researcher at FCT NOVA working under the PRR Project InsectERA.
