Rui Novais is an Assistant Professor at the Department of Materials and Ceramic Engineering and CICECO-Aveiro Institute of Materials at University of Aveiro (UA). He obtained his PhD in Polymer Science and Composites, in 2012 from the University of Minho; ¿Functionalized carbon nanotubes for polymer based nanocomposites¿. Between 2012 and 2018 we had a postdoc position at UA working in the development of: - ceramic tiles for improving energy efficiency in buildings; - ceramic cookware compatible with induction cooking; - novel lightweight geopolymers for environmental remediation; - solar thermochemical production of hydrogen based on cork ecoceramics. In September 2018 he was awarded a Junior researcher grant by FCT (Portuguese Foundation for Science and Technology) to develop with performance geopolymers for environmental remediation applications. Ranked 1/125 Environ Biotech Eng panel; 9/2227 in all panels; Final Score 9.9/10 (CEEC 2017). In October 2020 he was awarded an Assistant Researcher grant by FCT. Ranked 3/59 Environ Biotech Eng panel; 28/1399 in all panels; Final Score 9.53/10 (CEEC 2019). He has expertise in chemistry, physics, polymer and materials science, on the development and characterisation of low thermal conductivity materials (traditional ceramics and geopolymer-foams); on PCM-containing building materials for improving buildings thermal performance; wastes valorisation, synthesis of ecoceramics for energy production, and activated carbons. He has published ca. 100 papers, 77 of which are in JCR SCI journals. He is also the first author of two book chapter on lightweight inorganic polymers and the first author of a review paper on geopolymer foams published in Progress in Materials Science. He has >2930 citations, and a h-index of 33 (Scopus).
