Dr. Cátia Magro holds a PhD in environment and sustainability from NOVA University of Lisbon – School of Science and Technology (FCT-NOVA). Her research focused primarily on decontamination technologies, nano/materials, hydrogen production, sensors, and remote sensing, which resulted in one patent application, 19 Science Citation Index articles, 6 h-index (13 Papers in international scientific journals with referees and 6 Conference Papers with referees), and four book chapters. Driven by her enthusiasm to contribute to environmental actions and knowledge transfer, she joined The Journey supported by the European Institute of Innovation & Technology – EIT-Climate KIC , through which she was able to collaborate with other climate action advocates. Moreover, owing to her passion for communication she was head of the dissemination team of Center for Environmental and Sustainability Research – CENSE Research Centre at FCT-NOVA . Cátia is an ongoing mentor for the HiseedTech program, where she supports research groups in the design of ideas and products applied to industry partners. She was most recently a postdoctoral researcher in the physics department of NOVA, conducting research on the potential of sensor networks and satellites for volatiles/organic contaminants’ monitoring. Cátia joined SIT Study Abroad as academic director in Portugal in 2021. Moreover, Dr. Magro continues to be linked to the research team at FCT-NOVA, conducting studies on the development of nanomaterials for monitoring sensors.
