Ana Margarida Cavaco Guerra is graduated in Biology (31/03/1992) [16/20)] and completed her PhD in Biology/Plant Physiology and Biochemistry in 19/7/2000 [summa cum laude], both by Faculdade de Ciências, Universidade de Lisboa, Portugal. She has published 43 articles in journals, 6 book chapters and presented over 30 communications in conferences (oral presentations and posters). She has additionally received 1 award and/or honors. In his curriculum Ciência Vitae the most frequent terms in the context of scientific, technological and artistic-cultural output are: Spectroscopy; N-way PCA; CTV; Citrus sinensis; Carbon Dioxide; Chlorophyll; Chloroplasts; Copper; Fluorescence; Manganese; Oxygen Consumption; Photosynthesis; Photosystem II Protein Complex; Bio/optical-sensing, non-invasive methods (Vis/NIR reflectance spectroscopy; spatially resolved reflectance; light scattering goniometry; bio-luminescence; non-modulated and modulated chlorophyll a fluorescence; imaging fluorescence (blue, green, red); electronic-sensing technology; and sensor fusion technology) to determine the quality of fruit (pre-harvest and postharvest) and other commodities (propolis, honey, etc.) as well as the early diagnosis of fruit disorders and plant infections. Her interests include Bio/optical-sensing, non-invasive methods (Vis/NIR reflectance spectroscopy; spatially resolved reflectance; light scattering goniometry; bio-luminescence; non-modulated and modulated chlorophyll a fluorescence; imaging fluorescence (blue, green, red); electronic-sensing technology; and sensor fusion technology) to determine the quality of fruit (pre-harvest and postharvest) and other commodities (propolis, honey, etc.) as well as the early diagnosis of fruit disorders and plant infections. She aims to contribute to establish real-time orchard management systems and procedures complying with the precision agriculture goals. She is still very engaged in the field of plant and fruit physiology and biochemistry under stress conditions: photosynthesis and carbon partitioning and allocation processes; physiological, biochemical, and molecular mechanisms.
