Inês S. Fernandes completed her MSc in Chemical and Biochemical Engineering in 2021 at the NOVA School of Science and Technology – NOVA University of Lisbon. She furthered her expertise by attending a specialized, non-academic course in Materials Engineering, Nanotechnologies, and Nanosciences from 2022 to 2023. Currently, she is pursuing a PhD in Nanotechnologies and Nanosciences at NOVA FCT and CENIMAT|i3N. She has published an article in a Q1-ranked scientific journal and is preparing both a research paper and a comprehensive literature review. Additionally, Inês has presented two oral communications at prominent national scientific conferences and recently contributed as a Member of the Organizing Committee and an Invited Speaker at a high-profile national workshop on sustainable technologies. Her commitment to mentorship is reflected in her supervision of both a BSc conclusion project and an Erasmus-funded MSc R&D project. She also provided guidance as a tutor for an MSc dissertation and is currently overseeing another MSc thesis. Inês has expanded her research experience as a Master Research Fellow, subsequently joining as a PhD Student Fellow in three prestigious projects – one funded by the European Research Council (ERC) and two by national grants and relevant industrial partners (PRIO). Inês’s core research interests center on sustainable and green chemistry, including solar fuel production and electrochemical conversion processes like carbon dioxide (CO2) reduction and water (H2O) electrolysis. Her expertise extends to cutting-edge technologies such as electrolyzers, porous electrodes, and mesh-based modeling and simulation. Through her work, Inês strives to push the boundaries of sustainable energy solutions and foster innovations in environmentally friendly (electro)chemical processes.
