Marta's research experience includes the production of electrospun polymeric membranes and their photo-crosslinking by UV irradiation, the development of polyamide microcapsules by interfacial polymerization, the synthesis and characterization of UV-curable polyester adhesives, and the production of polyurethane foams. Her work has led to co-authorship on eight scientific papers, and she has actively contributed to the supervision of master's theses related to her projects. Marta is currently pursuing a PhD in Chemical Engineering at the University of Coimbra with a scholarship funded by the Foundation for Science and Technology (2020.05675.BD) within the scope of the TimeUp. This project focuses on developing a technology for monitoring and evaluating uropathogenic infections and has already resulted in the creation of a startup in 2023 of which she is one of the co-founders, and in a provisional patent application in 2024.
