Inês Catarina Moreira Vaz (7A14-C070-D4E7)

Curriculum Vitae

Inês Vaz is a júnior researcher at CICECO, University of Aveiro, studying solvation phenomena/extraction in neoteric solvents. She completed her PhD in Sustainable Chemistry in the University of Porto, in association with the University of Aveiro and Nova University of Lisbon. Her qualifications include a bachelor and a master degree in Chemistry by the University of Porto in 2013 and 2015 respectively. Inês has started her scientific career involved in the measurement of the vapour pressures of protic ionic liquids. During the Master and PhD studies, she has focused in the thermodynamics of solvation of alcohols in ionic liquids. Along with these research topics, Inês Vaz has also been involved in the development of different experimental methodologies. Amongst them, Inês had been involved in the design, construction and test of a micro flow calorimeter of heat conduction type. After PhD, Inês Vaz worked as postdoctoral researcher at Laboratoire de Chimie of the École Normale Supérieure de Lyon, France, studying solvation of gases in ionic liquids for gas separation purposes. Previously, she had undertaken an international internship in the Institut Laue-Langevin, studying the incorporation of transmembrane proteins in lipid bilayers. Inês C. M. Vaz has published 8 articles in international peer-review journals, which have been cited by 42 documents and has performed peer revisions for the Journal of Molecular Liquids and Journal of chemical & engineering data. Inês C. M. Vaz has co-supervised BSc and MSc students. Apart from the several national and international academic conferences and seminars in which she has participated, she has been involved in the organization committee of 3 international conference and 1 winter school on the topics of ionic liquids and thermophysical properties. She has authored 11 oral presentations and (co-)authored 23 poster presentations, one of which has awarded the Best IUPAC Poster. Besides the scientific activities, Inês Vaz has participated in several science demonstration activities.
