E. Doutel (born 1987) received her PhD degree in chemical engineering from UPORTO in September 2016 with the thesis entitled “Hemodynamics in the Left Coronary Artery – numerical and in vitro approaches”, under supervision of Prof. J.B.L.M. Campos. As a PhD student she participated in 5 International Conferences in which 2 are conference papers and published 7 papers in international journals. She developed a method to produce 3D silicon based artificial arteries for hemodynamics studies using sucrose as a novel casting material (DOI:10.1142/s0219519415500049). She established a R&D collaboration with a cardiovascular medical team combining research with clinical activity. During this period, she also joined the organizing committee of the first doctoral congress in engineering which was an excellent opportunity for doctoral students, of the several areas of engineering, to discuss their on-going research with peers, professors and industry. In 2016 she worked as R&D engineer in Thermal & Fluids team of Efacec developing R&D activities (C2020 project POCI-01-024-FEDER-008797) in the field of fluid mechanics and heat/mass transfer to improve the cooling capacity of Power Transformers (PT), where she prepared and co-supervised a master’s thesis in chemical engineering with a purpose of get a deeper knowledge of the water generation and distribution inside a PT by a numerical analysis. She also participated in international pre-standardization working group (Cigré), raising funding, and searching for R&D collaboration opportunities. In 2018 she worked as thermal specialist in hardware R&D team of Altice labs where the main responsibilities were the minimization of the size, weight and total cost of all the products developed by AlticeLabs. In 2019, she was a postdoctoral researcher at CEFT participating in Hemoswimmers project (POCI-01-0145-FEDER- 030764) where she developed research activities in hemodynamics around 3D microbot's prototypes. This project culminated in a publication of a review in Materials Journal (DOI: 10.3390/ma14237402). Her main responsibilities were understanding the complex flow dynamics along characteristic geometries of the human circulatory system, to find the best morphology to maximize their movement efficiency while minimizing their impact on the patient body. In 2020, she developed a collaboration with Cath lab of Hospital de Braga (CCAB) based on proximity, knowledge transfer and Win to Win principles. This laboratory is as well-known reference in cardiovascular intervention field, performing around 2500 diagnostic coronary angiograms per year. The R&D partnership created with Dr.Carlos Braga (in charge cardiologist) is in line with the innovative strategy of both institutions CCAB and CEFT. During 2022, she created a consortium between CEFT, CCAB, Imperial College of London, a SME Dutch company Medis Imaging System and INOVA+, where a Horizonte Europa project will be submitted (HORIZON-HLTH-2024-STAYHLTH-01-05-two-stage). This project will allow high-risk patients to be better identified, and preventive actions and strict clinical surveillance to be swiftly taken. She was full responsible for this synergy, and she represents CEFT in all projects related with those institutions. In 2023, She was responsible for creating a novel course unit (CU) in the Chemical Engineering program, which was recently approved by the Scientific Council of FEUP. This CU focuses on teaching the practical application of computational fluid dynamics tools to solve real and concrete problems in the health field. The aim of this course is to demonstrate where a Chemical Engineer with a particular interest in fluid mechanics can apply their knowledge for the benefit of health. Recently, she is the supervisor of 1 PhD’s thesis in Industrial environment between EFACEC and CEFT regarding Efficient Cooling process for refrigerating Power transformers and 2 masters’ thesis in chemical engineering.
