Vânia Calisto (VC) graduated in Biochemistry and Food Chemistry in 2007 (17/20) at the University of Aveiro (UA). Within 2008 and 2011, VC was awarded with a FCT scholarship to pursue a PhD at UA on the 'Environmental Occurrence and Fate of Psychiatric Pharmaceuticals' (supervised by Prof. Valdemar Esteves). During this period, VC took an internship at the Federal Institute for Materials Research and Testing (BAM, Berlin). In 2010-2012, VC was co-chair of the Young Chemists Group of the Portuguese Chemical Society and Delegate to the European Young Chemists Network (EYCN) of EuCheMS. From 2012 to 2018, VC held a post-doctoral fellowship aimed at the development of biowaste-based porous materials for the removal of pharmaceuticals from water. In 2014, VC was distinguished with the L'Oréal Medal of Honor for Women in Science for her post-doctoral work. Since then, VC has focused her research on the development of microporous carbon materials (namely biochar and powdered, granular, functionalized and magnetic activated carbons) obtained by conventional and microwave pyrolysis of agro-industrial wastes, with further application as adsorbents or photocatalysts for the removal of pharmaceuticals from wastewater. In 2019 VC was awarded by FCT with an Assistant Researcher position at the Chemistry Department of UA and the Associated Laboratory CESAM. VC is the Coordinator of the Research Group 'ASAEC - Analytical Sensors and Applied Eco-Chemistry' since 2020. In 2021, VC was awarded by the Portuguese Chemical Society with the Young Investigator Ramôa Ribeiro Prize, for her contribution in the development of microporous materials. Currently, since February 2022, VC is an Assistant Professor at the Chemistry Department of UA. VC was the Principal Investigator of 4 FCT projects, and research team member in 8 projects (5 national and 3 European Projects). Overall, VC supervised 2 post-doctoral researchers, 8 research fellows, 9 PhD students (5 international students in collaboration), 11 MSc students, 21 final BSc projects and mentored several volunteers per year in her lab. VC published 75 papers in international peer-reviewed journals, 26 % of them as senior author and 82 % in collaboration with international institutions. Moreover, VC presented 49 posters and 65 oral communications in scientific meetings (22 of them as invited speaker). VC has an h-index of 32 and 2958 citations, corresponding to an average of 39.4 citations per paper (Scopus, 04/02/2024).
