Ana Paula Ferreira completed her Master’s in Environmental Technologies on 2019/09/24 and her Bachelor’s in Environmental Engineering on the same date, both from the Instituto Politécnico de Bragança. Additionally, she earned a degree in Environmental and Sanitary Engineering from Universidade Tecnológica Federal do Paraná on 2018/08/12. Since 2022/08/01, she has been pursuing her Doctorate in Chemical and Biological Sciences at the University of Trás-os-Montes and Alto Douro. She has published five scientific journal articles and co-supervised two undergraduate projects. Her research experience as a PhD student spans three projects: Bagaço+Valor - Clean Technology for the Valorization of Olive Pomace in the Olive Oil Extraction Industry, Monitoring of Municipal Waste Streams and Their Transformation into Geopolymers (doctoral thesis), and Life Cycle Assessment of Geopolymeric Materials Derived from Municipal Solid Waste Valorization. Her primary research keywords include: Environmental Applications; Solid Waste - Plastics; Reuse; Paracetamol; Carbon Nanotubes; Catalytic Wet Peroxide Oxidation; Adsorption; Agro-industrial Waste Valorization; Solid Waste Management; Solid Waste Recovery; Circular Economy; Synthesis of Nano- and Macro-structured Materials; Water Treatment Technologies; Geopolymer-Based Membranes; and Life Cycle Assessment.
