Ivânia Esteves (IE) holds a degree in Agricultural Engineering, from the University of Évora, Portugal (2001) and a PhD in Biological Sciences from the University of Cranfield, England (2007). She is currently developing research activities in the NEMATO-lab, Centre for Functional Ecology (CFE), TERRA Associate Laboratory, at the Department of Life Sciences, University of Coimbra (UC), Portugal. The majority of the research since her PhD has been centered in: 1) finding alternative strategies to manage plant-parasitic nematodes in agro-ecosystems through the use of fungal biocontrol agents and nematicidal phytocompounds, 2) development of diagnostic tools to detect and characterise important plant-parasitic nematodes (PPN), 3) assessment of PPN diversity and pathogenicity . At present, she is involved in national projects, lecturing and is co-supervising 2 PhD students. She has authored/co-authored more than 25 articles in international journals, 5 book chapters and abstracts in ISI journals and / or ISSN / ISBN journals . She has been involved in the organization of 3 international scientific meetings in the field of phytopathology, 1 national colloquium, 2 workshops, supervision of students and regularly participates in various scientific outreach activities organized by her host institution.
