Curriculum Vitae

Elisabete Teixeira

Elisabete Teixeira is Environmental Engineering, she completed her PhD in Civil Engineering at the University of Minho, in 2019. She worked in the field of circular economy, reusing wastes generated in the biomass power plants in several applications as environmental engineering. On her PhD, the work was focused on the quality and sustainable performance of eco-efficient concrete with a high volume of additions content (biomass fly ashes), reducing the utilization of raw materials and energy consumption. Now, as a researcher, she is working on an international project (called InfraROB), being the technical and financial coordinator within UMinho. She authored 19 ISI Journal papers (13 since 2019), working with 44 co-authors, several international conference papers and 2 book chapters (in 2019). Until now, she was the supervisor of 5 master dissertations and she is the supervisor of 4 PhD theses (on-going). She is a team member within UMinho on an approved Design Measures proposal for NoRISK, an International Master on Risk Assessment and Management of Civil Infrastructures. Recently, wins a Horizon Europe Project entitled ¿Citynature-Based Solutions Integration to Local Urban Infrastructure Protection For A Climate Resilient Society¿ on the call HORIZON-CL3-2022-INFRA-01-01, where she is the Coordinator of the Project (expected date to start 1st of September). At a national level, she is a member of the Portuguese Engineers Association (Ordem dos Engenheiros) and belongs to the Portuguese Group for Discussion Support of European Horizon (2021-2027) (GNAD). At the international level, she is a member of PIARC work cycle 2020-2023 "3.4 Environmental Sustainability in Road Infrastructure and Transport", she is the Technical Secretariat of Commission 8 of FIB (Durability) "International Organization of Structural Concrete" (between 2021-2024), and also she is member of TG5.8 - resilience of existing structures of IABSE. She is a topical advisory member of Crystals (MDPI) and academic editor of Advances in Civil Engineering, Hindawi.
