My name is Alexandre Costa Patrocínio Macedo Alves and I have a Bachelor's and Master's degree in chemistry. I completed my Bachelor's (final grade of 14) and Master's (final grade of 17) Degrees in 2019 and 2021, respectively, in Faculdade de Ciências da Universidade do Porto. Currently, i am in the third year of a Ph.D. in Chemistry in Faculdade de Ciências da Universidade do Porto with a Ph.D. Research Grant (ref. 2022.11108.BD), awarded by FCT. My Bachelor's degree project was based on Physical-Chemistry of Semiconductor Materials and Nanotechnology and during this period I developed a big research interest, mainly in the production of organic thin films through physical vapor deposition methods. I had the chance to increase my skills in experimental and analytical techniques as well as my abilities of reflection and curiosity with this work. With the results obtained during this project, it was also possible the development of a scientific article, which has already been published. My Master's degree thesis was also done based on Physical-Chemistry of Materials/Nanotechnology and I was able to grow as an individual and as a researcher during this period, gaining more independence in the laboratory. I improved my knowledge in thin films production, namely micro-and nanosystems constituted by ionic liquids and metal nanoparticles. With this thesis, it was possible to prove and show a new process of metal nanoparticles synthesis (silver and gold) in thin ionic liquids films, which was never shown before in literature. The results obtained in this work helped in the development of a scientific article that is under revision now, and they will allow the development of another article. I was the author of several oral presentations about the research work done during my Bachelor's and Master's degree projects. In my first year of the Bachelor's degree I won an award from Universidade do Porto and Sociedade Portuguesa de Química ("Caloiros não pagam propinas").
