Ana P. M. Tavares graduated in Chemical Engineering at Estadual University of Rio de Janeiro in 1997, and completed a two-year MSc degree in Technology of Chemical and Biochemical Processes at Federal University of Rio de Janeiro in 2000. Tavares completed her PhD in Chemical Engineering at University of Aveiro in 2006. In 2007, Tavares received an Honourable Mention from the "Companhia União Fabril" (Portugal) for the scientific excellence of her PhD thesis. From 2006-2014 Tavares was a Post-doctoral fellow and an Auxiliary Researcher at LSRE/FEUP. In 2014 Tavares changed the host institution, and moved to CICECO/UA as a post-doctoral researcher and since 2017 is an Auxiliary Researcher. In 2022 she started as a board member the of Chemistry Department Concil, UA. Tavares published ca. 89 SCI Papers with +2900 citations (corresponding author in >30 publications), h-index of 32 and 161 co-authors. Other publications include 1 Encyclopedia entry, 18 Book Chapters and >100 abstracts in international conferences. She also filled 1 national, 1 European and 1 international patents, and granted 1 European patent. Tavares participated in 14 funded R&D projects, being the principal investigator in 4. She participated as jury member of 30 MSc and 11 PhD theses (some of them outside Portugal), and acting as Committee Member in the evaluation of academic degrees and research grants; and as evaluator for scientific projects from Croatian Science Foundation (HRZZ); Kom op tegen Kanker, Belgium; National Science Center, Poland; Hellenic Foundation for Research & Innovation, Greece; and invitation for (EIC) Pathfinder Open 2025. She has been focusing on producing cutting-edge research and on publishing in high IF journals, such as Green Chem, Chem Eng J, ACS Sust Chem Eng, J Colloid Interf Sci, Sep Pur Technol, Int J Biol Macromol, among others. She has been acting as a referee of multidisciplinary journals (>100 revisions completed). She was guest editor of the Topic Editors of the journals Molecules and Biotech. Tavares was the PI of projects: POCI-01-0145-FEDER-031268 (2018-2022); IF/01634/2015 (2017-2021); Proof of concept UI-TRANSFER 2023 (2023); bi-lateral project N° 40851YL (Pt-Fr, 2018-2019). She was team member of POCI-01-0145-FEDER-030840 (2018-2022); ERC-2013-StG-337753 (2014-2015); POCTI/EQU/48489/2002 among others. Currently she is co-PI of PRR C644917393-00000032 while being member in projects: 2022.03394.PTDC PureDNA; CENTRO-01-0145-FEDER-181219 antYmicrob; Yscript EIC No 101047214 and EXPL/BII-BTI/073 mVACCIL. Tavares participated in the International network COST ACTION, EXIL - Exchange on Ionic Liquids 2016, and currently is participation in ACRYRED COST Action 2024. In 2017 she participated in the COHITEC training program in technology commercialization. The pedagogical capacity is supported by teaching tutorial classes of Fundamentals of Chemistry I and II at FEUP (2008-2014) and by teaching lab classes of Biochemistry I, Chemistry I, Bioprocessing of Renewable Resources, Biocatalyst and Microbial Biotechnology at UAVR (since 2015). She has supervised 3 post-doctoral researchers, 1 junior researcher, 8 international Internship PhD, 3 international Master Internship, 21 MSc, 38 BSc and 3 ungraduated Erasmus students. The current supervision activities include the supervising of 6 PhD students and 3 MSc. Her research scientific interests include proteins, enzymes, nucleic acids (RNA and DNA), ionic liquids, supported ionic liquids, biomolecules purification, aqueous biphasic systems, fermentation processes, development of cost-effective purification processes, enzyme immobilization, nanomaterials, and biocatalysis for organic synthesis and enzymatic reactions and process. These scientific interests are developed with the goal of improving society standards, by providing innovative and sustainable processes and production.
