Currently, I am a PhD fellow at the research group "Process and Product Applied Thermodynamics" (PATh), CICECO - Aveiro Institute of Materials, University of Aveiro (UA), Portugal. In 2024, I had a short-term visit at Institut Charles Gerhardt de Montpellier, France. My research activities include the development of supported ionic liquids for biotechnological applications, namely chromatographic strategies, biosensors, and superhydrophobic materials. I've been a research fellow at the research group "Catalysis and carbon materials" (LSRE-LCM), Department of Chemical Engineering - Faculty of Engineering of the University of Porto (FEUP), Portugal. My research activities were mainly on the development of sustainable nanomaterials for the purification of antileukemic drugs. Furthermore, I've also been a research fellow at the research group "Biomedical and biomimetic materials" (PATh), CICECO - Aveiro Institute of Materials, UA, Portugal. My research activities were mainly on purification of high value proteins using nanomaterials, which comprised characterization of their properties and assessment of their potential in the establishment of extractive platforms for value-added compounds (biopharmaceuticals). Obtained my MSc degree in Molecular Biomedicine from UA, Portugal, in 2018. In 2016, worked for a short period of time as a nurse, in Royal Berkshire Hospital (Reading, United Kingdom). Finished my BSc degree in Nursing at UA, Portugal, in 2015. My scientific research resulted in 11 journal-articles, 4 book-chapters, 1 encyclopedia entry, 1 international meeting abstract, 30 posters and 24 oral presentations (195 citations) in symposiums, meetings and conferences.
