L.M. Vilhena is graduated in Chemical Engineering at the Technical University of Lisbon (Instituto Superior Técnico), Portugal and PhD in Mechanical Engineering, field of Tribology from LTIN - Laboratory for Tribology and Interface Nanotechnology - University of Ljubljana, Slovenia (11/10/2012). After 2 years as a researcher at European Organization for Nuclear Research (CERN), Geneva, Switzerland and 1 year at Instituto Pedro Nunes - Association for Innovation and Development in Science and Technology (IPN), Coimbra, Portugal, he worked between March 2007 and March 2010 (3 years) at the Laboratory for Tribology and Interface Nanotechnology, University of Ljubljana, Slovenia as a Marie Curie Fellow (European Commission) in the European project “WEMESURF“ - “Characterisation of WEear MEchanisms and SURFace functionalities with regard to life time prediction and quality criteria - from micro to the nano range”. Between November 2010 and November 2011 (1 year) he worked at the Centre for Research in Ceramics and Composite Materials, CICECO, University of Aveiro, Portugal, in a national project “New binders for the sintering process of Tungsten Carbide based hard metals: Development and mechanical characterization of new WC composites; correlation between composition, structure, microstructure and mechanical properties”. Between June 2012 and June 2014 (2 years), he worked at the Institute for Interdisciplinary Research and Division of Research Support and Promotion, University of Coimbra in Management of Science and Technology. Between July 2014 and December 2018 (4 years + 5 months), he was doing Postdoctoral fellowship financed by FCT - Portuguese Foundation for Science and Technology at CEMMPRE - Centre for Mechanical Engineering, Materials and Processes, University of Coimbra in BioTribology/Bioengineering – Study of the skin friction. The work of the first three years was evaluated by an international advisory board as: Excellent.
