Diana P. Ferreira is a Researcher at Centre for Textile Science and Technology (2C2T) of the School of Engineering of Minho University since 2017. She finished her PhD in Chemistry in 2016 at Técnico Lisbon, University of Lisbon. The research interests are focused in using sustainable chemistry for the development of smart and innovative materials. Namely, the development of natural based fibres (specially using electrospinning and wetspinning techniques) and in the synthesis of nanomaterials. She is focused on the application of this knowledge in different areas including: photodynamic therapy of cancer, wound dressing systems, localized drug delivery systems, multifunctional textiles, smart textiles, personal protective equipment for chemical and biological protection, between others. Diana is Coordinator of several academic research projects, projects in collaboration with companies and Professor of Textile Chemistry and Textile Materials. Diana is supervisor of PhD and Master students, has published almost 60 original peer reviewed papers, she presented over 70 national and international communications, wrote 2 book chapters and 1 book. She is guest editor of several journals and part of Scientific Committee of International Conferences. Her work has been cited nearly 1000 times and she has an h-index of 19. Member of the Board of 2C2T Research Centre, Coordinator of Fibrous Materials Research Line and Member of Coordination Board of the Doctoral Program in Textile Engineering.
