Parisa Amirkhizi (Amir Khizi) is a researcher at CICECO - Aveiro Institute of Materials / DEMaC, University of Aveiro, Portugal. She completed her PhD in Materials Science and Engineering on 25 March 2025 at the University of Aveiro, graduating with distinction and merit. Her doctoral research was funded by a competitive individual PhD fellowship awarded by the Portuguese Foundation for Science and Technology (FCT) under a national open call. Parisa holds a Master’s degree in Biomedical Engineering (2013) and a Bachelor’s degree in Materials Engineering (2006). Her doctoral research was carried out at CICECO – Aveiro Institute of Materials, University of Aveiro, with a focus on oxide-based thermoelectric ceramics. She is the author and co-author of 12 peer-reviewed journal articles, including 8 as a first and corresponding author (h-index of 6 and ~89 citations, Google Scholar, as of 26.01.2026) and has participated in about 24 national and international scientific events through oral and poster presentations. She participated as a team member in two research projects funded by FCT. Her research activity is in the field of Engineering and Technology, with emphasis on Materials Engineering, particularly on ceramic and oxide-based systems for energy conversion application. Her research interests include oxide thermoelectrics, defect engineering, processing strategies, composites containing 2D materials, and processing–structure–property relationships. She has experience in solid-state synthesis, spark plasma sintering, hot uniaxial pressing, ultrafast high-temperature sintering, and laser floating zone processing, as well as thermoelectric module fabrication and performance evaluation. She also has strong expertise in structural and microstructural characterisation, together with electrical and thermal transport measurements, enabling comprehensive structure-property analysis of functional ceramic materials. She has contributed to graduate training through the co-supervision of a Master’s student in Materials Science and Engineering. She has also been actively involved in international scientific activities, including research collaboration and participation in scientific events and research stays in Spain (Zaragoza) and Germany (Darmstadt), strengthening her international research profile and collaborative network in the field of thermoelectric materials.
