Felismina is a proven expert in the field of biosensors. She specializes in the development of electrical biosensors that use novel materials, particularly synthetic materials, to detect a variety of target analytes. Earned her PhD in sustainable chemistry from the Faculty of Science of the University of Lisbon and her academic contributions are reflected in the 27 h-index and publication of 79 articles in international journals (orcid: 0000-0003-4237-8952). She is also co-author of three submitted patents in the field of biosensors and has supervised several master's and PhD students. Felismina is the founder and coordinator of the research group LabRISE- Laboratory for Research and Innovation in Sensors and Engineering, and board member of the Center for Innovation in Engineering and Industrial Technology (CIETI) located at the School of Engineering of the Polytechnic Institute of Porto (ISEP). In this role, she leads a team of researchers dedicated to advancing the field of biosensors, driving innovation, and pushing the boundaries of what is possible. Previously, she coordinated the BioMark Sensor Research unit at ISEP from January 2020 to July 2023. Her contributions to the field of biosensors combined with her academic and professional accomplishments make her an asset to the scientific community. Her expertise and leadership are critical to the ongoing development of cutting-edge technologies for biosensor applications.
