I completed my Master's Degree in Materials Engineering in 2018 at the NOVA School of Science and Technology (FCT-UNL), with a final score of 15, and a dissertation that scored a above average grade of 19. I am currently a student at the University of Aveiro (UA), where I am studying towards my Doctorate in Materials Science and Engineering. My area of interest and research is the field of Biomaterials, with experience in synthesis and functionalization of nano-materials, and electrospinning.
