As a result of her scientific activity, she is author/co-author of over 100 Scopus articles (with h-index 39, SCOPUS 2024), 15 book chapters, more than 100 communications in congresses, and Editor of 6 books/abstract books . She is Section Editor-in-Chief of journal Foods (IF 5.2), and guest editor of 7 Special Issues (Foods, Food and Function, and Food Research International journals). In 2023 she was among the highly cited scientists worldwide, according to a ranking from a study by Stanford University (USA). She is/was principal researcher of 6 national (2 FCT funding and 4 with other national funds) and 1 international (FCT Bilateral cooperation) financed projects, and is/was member of over other 25 projects, including 4 H2020-BBI projects, 1 PRIMA, 1 COST action and 1 European FP7-KBBE. She is/was co-supervisor of 4 PhD students, over 30 MSc students and several graduate students. She has experience as international expert evaluator for the Agencia Nacional de Promoción Científica y Tecnológica (ANPCyT) de Argentina, University of Bozen-Bolzano and University of Parma, Italy, for the European Comission as Project Evaluator (H2020-SFS, European Comission 2017-2018, 2019) and as Expert Monitor (European Comission Project H2020-SFS-2016-2-727864) and national projects evaluator for ANI (National Agency for Innovation). She also assisted REA (EU Research Executive Agency) in different evaluations. She was the President of the Food Chemistry Division of the Portuguese Society of Chemistry (SPQ) from 2009-2012, and is a National Delegate at the Food Chemistry Division (FCD) of the European Chemical Society (EuChemS) since 2011. She was elected Secretary of FCD-EuChemS for the term 2018-2020 and was elected Chair of FCD-EuChemS for the term 2021-2023 and 2024-2026. She is reviewer for several different journals in the Food, Analytical Chemistry and Biosciences area and was juri member of different PhD and MSc thesis. She was member of several Organizing and Scientific Committees of national and international conferences. She collaborates in several outreach activities such as the national Chemistry Olympics and Open Science days. Her research interests are related to foods, including food supplements, and medicinal plants mainly focusing on their authentication, and the study of nutraceutical and bioactive compounds. Recently, she has been developing fast methods that can be applied on-field or in point-of-need for medicinal plants authentication. Moreover, she has been working with green extraction methods of bioactive compounds and essential oils from food by-products and natural products, and the optimization of these processes, as well as on the chemical characterization and bioactivity evaluation (such as antioxidant and antimicrobial activity) of the obtained extracts and compounds.
