Maria Helena Casimiro obtained her PhD in 2008 on Chemistry from Universidade de Lisboa (Faculdade de Ciências). Currently she is a Radiation Processing Specialist at International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA). She is involved in Radiation Technology (RT) technological development, exchange of RT knowledge and experience, and Capacity Building and Human Capacity Building in IAEA Member States. Until November 2022 she was a researcher at Centro de Ciências e Tecnologias Nucleares from Instituto Superior Técnico, Universidade de Lisboa (C2TN/IST). Her mainly interests have been in Polymerization, Functionalization and characterization of polymers, and in Radiation Chemistry and its application under a green technology perspective for Biomedical, Environmental, Material Science, and Conservation and Restoration areas. She is the author or co-author of ca. 40 international and national original publications in refereed journals. She made near 30 invited presentations in conferences or symposiums and about 80 other oral and poster communications . While in Academia she was involved in national and international projects (as PI and team member), teaching activities, students' supervision, main arguer of academic examinations, worked as invited editor and reviewer for journals of international circulation, co-organization of science promotion activities and participation in Scientific and Local Organization Committees of National and International Conferences. She was also Collaborator of Materials for Adsorption and Catalysis Group@LAQV-REQUIMTE/FCTUNL since 2015, Objective Manager of "Macromolecular Materials" sub-area of C2TN/IST Thematic Strand "Advanced Materials" since 2016 and Member of C2TN/IST Outreach Group since 2021.
