Ana C Brito graduated in Environmental Biology in 2005 (16/20, Faculty of Sciences, University of Lisbon, Portugal) and received a Ph.D. degree by the Edinburgh Napier University (UK) in 2010, under the supervision of Teresa Fernandes, Paul Tett and Alice Newton. From 2010 to 2013, she was a Post-doc fellow at MARE and University of Lisbon. From 2014 to 2022, Ana C. Brito was Assistant Professor at the Faculty of Sciences of the University of Lisbon (FCUL). She received two highly competitive grants: FCT Investigator Grant in 2014 and FCT CEEC Individual Grant in 2018. Ana C Brito lectures in FCUL since 2013 at the BSc and MSc level. Currently, she is Assistant Professor (permanent position) and is a member of the Coordination Commission of the Marine Science MSc Course in FCUL. She is or has supervised 13 MSc and 8 PhD Theses. She has published more than 70 scientific papers. Since 2017, Ana C Brito has participated in 21 (national and international) Projects, with coordination responsibilities in 11 of them, including the H2020 CERTO Project (www.certo-project.org) in which she was Work Package Leader. Currently, her research interests include Estuarine and Coastal Ecology, Phytoplankton Functional Types, Ecology of Phytoplankton Communities, Ocean Colour Remote Sensing and Climate change.
