I completed a course in Chemistry in 2003 at Instituto Superior Técnico (IST) Universidade de Lisboa, and earned my PhD in Biochemistry in 2010 at Instituto de Tecnologia Química e Biológica (ITQB) Universidade Nova de Lisboa. Currently, I work as an independent researcher at Associação do Instituto Superior Técnico para a Investigação e Desenvolvimento (IST-ID). I have published over 60 peer-reviewed manuscripts and served as a jury member for international projects, PhD, MSc, and course theses. I have also supervised PhD, MSc and course theses. I have supported numerous postdoc and PhD short-term fellow researchers, broadening my international collaborations. Additionally, as a member of the Centro de Química Estrutural (CQE) executive committee and a deputy of my research group, I am involved in decision-making processes related to organizational matters. My research focuses on biofunctional materials and has been recognized by my peers by invitations to serve as a regular, managing, and guest editor for several journals in renowned publishers, as well as as an invited speaker at recognized international conferences. I also participated in organizing conferences and workshops, and in communicating science to broader and non-specialized audiences. With my unique scientific background in plant and materials sciences, along with my strong, soft skills and innate passion for tackling challenges, I secured an interview for the highly competitive ERC Consolidator Grant. In this interdisciplinary research endeavor, I received a competitive contract (CEEC) in 2024, which I intend to use to settle a new research area. My goal is to contribute to the European Green Deal initiative by addressing the intertwined challenges of sustainability, resilience, and equitable society through chemistry-based solutions tailored to facilitate our clean energy transition.
