I'm proactive scientific researcher since 2008. Ph.D. in Chemistry (Inorganic Chemistry) concluded in 2016; thesis title: Nanoparticles of intermetallic compounds for the elimination of primary pollutants. The work developed brought new knowledge on the preparation of nanostructured binary intermetallic and bimetallic oxides containing f block elements and their enhanced catalytic activity for methane activation with different oxidizing agents, namely: the studies with N2O proved that it is a better oxidizing agent than O2 or CO2 for C2 hydrocarbon production. Afterwards, my work followed different but complemented paths, specifically: i) the development of new nanostructured heterogeneous systems for catalytic conversion of CO2 and its applications under sustainable commercial competitive conditions; (ii) the synthesis and characterization of nanostruturated materials, using as a principal method the electrospinning technique for the preparation of intermetallic compounds, bimetallic oxides containing f block elements as well as metal borides (e.g. LaB6), pnictides (e.g. CoSb3) and chalcogenides (e.g. Cu12Sb13S4); (iii) the study of their applications as catalysts, thermoelectric materials and hydrogen absorbers (important for the development of fuel cells); (iv) catalytic valorization of greenhouse gaseous pollutants aiming the production of fuels or chemicals of industrial interest such as hydrocarbons and alcohols, targeting a green and sustainable decrease of such pollutants. The work was developed with increased scientific independence and in collaboration with other research groups (e.g. Solid-State group in C2TN; Heterogeneous Catalysis and Catalytic processes (CATHPRO) and Molecular and Engineering Thermodynamics (MET) in CQE). She was and continues to be involved in all activities of the Laboratory of Catalysis, past and present, namely: the preparation of new nanomaterials and their full characterization, the evaluation of their catalytic behavior, laboratory management and student training. During this time, she supervised or co-supervise PhD & master students (Chemistry Engineering - IST) and 4 FCT BI grants and participated as arguing member in a master's thesis jury. Since 10/2018, she is the PI (Principal Investigator) of an ongoing research project financed by the FCT (PTDC/EAM-PEC/28374/2017; budget allocated 235 keuros), which main objectives are i) the synthesis of nanoporous bimetallic compounds with high surface area, not supported or supported on carbon or silica matrices, in particular containing f block elements; ii) the study of its catalytic behavior in the valorization of carbon dioxide, through selective hydrogenation, to obtain value-added products (syngas, hydrocarbons), contributing to the resolution of environmental problems related to emissions of gaseous pollutants. The scientific work results in 26 papers (with peer review), h-index 11, 45 poster communications, 10 oral communications (3 invited). Outreach activities involving workshop with industrial partners and collaboration with Loures Town hall (3rd edition of Loures InSS, partnership Loures Town hall / IST-C2TN) in 2018 and on Ciência 2018, Science and Technology Summit in Portugal promoted by FCT in 2018.
