Maria da Glória Gomes graduated in Civil Engineering in 1999 at Instituto Superior Técnico/Universidade de Lisboa (IST/UL). Between 1999 and 2001 she worked as a Project Engineer in the field of Structural Engineering. She received a MSc in Structural Engineering in 2003 and a PhD in Civil Engineering in 2010, both from IST/UL. She is an Associate Professor at IST/UL, where she has been a member of academic staff since 2000. She performs work in the field of Building Physics, focused on the indoor environment and on the thermal, luminous and energy performance of buildings. Work in the area of thermal and energy performance of buildings focus on the implementation of more sustainable and energy efficient materials and solutions such as, innovative glazings systems and shading devices, thermal renders, nanomaterials, lightweight concrete, GFRP sandwich panels, and green roofs and walls. Most of those studies have a strong experimental background complemented with building energy simulations. She is a member of the National Standardization Committee CT 151 - Building Thermal Performance, European Committee for Standardization CEN/TC 129 Glass in Buildings/ WG18 -Filmed glass and IBPSA (International Building Performance Simulation Association)-Portugal and is a qualified and accredited expert of the Portuguese Energy Agency (ADENE) for the energy performance certification of residential buildings. In total, she has published 75 journal papers (68 Scopus/WoS; hindex=23), 92 conference papers, 7 book chapters, 1 book and 3 book editions, most of which related to the indoor environment and energy efficiency of buildings. She has supervised 4 PhD and 52 MSc students to completion and is currently supervising 5 PhD students (ongoing). She is a reviewer for several international journals, serving as guest editor in four special issues. She has participated in 24 competitively-financed research projects (7 international and 17 national), funded by Portuguese Fundação para a Ciência e Tecnologia (FCT) and National Innovation Agency (ANI), International Energy Agency (IEA), European Commission and European Cooperation in Science and Technology (COST).
