Since December 2018 I have been a contracted researcher by the University of Coimbra in the Department of Chemical Engineering, and I am a member of Chemical Process Engineering and Forest Products Research Centre (CIEPQPF) since 2004, PhD integrated since 2010. I got my PhD in Chemical Engineering, speciality of Chemical Processes in 2009, financed by a STREP Project (NMP4-CT-2005-016626), working in the area of synthesis and surface modification of materials for biomedical application. From 2011 to 2017, I was a post-doctoral research fellow (SFRH/BPD/69410/2010) at CIEPQPF, University of Coimbra (Coimbra, Portugal) and Centro de Investigación y Desarrollo en Criotecnología de Alimentos (CIDCA) (La Plata, Argentina). My primary research activities included the development of new stimuli-responsive polymer-liposome complexes, which include the polymer synthesis/characterization and liposome formulation/characterization. Liposome formulation and characterization was a new subject area which started in CIEPQPF with my work. In 2017, I was a Post-doctoral research fellow (for 1 year) in a I&DT co-promotion project from PORTUGAL 2020 “Production of zirconia-based ceramic implants by 3D printing” (no 17896) between Innovnano – Materiais Avançados, SA, part of Bondalti, and Faculty of Sciences and Technology (FCT NOVA, Lisbon) with the main goal to obtain a nanostructured zirconia-based powder to be used as a 3D printing biocompatible ceramic implant with mechanical properties close to the bone. My scientific education and career are further described in following subsections. Since my researcher position, I have been continuing to work in the synthesis and characterization of materials mainly for biomedical applications (drug delivery systems, tissue engineering and smart materials), in collaboration with scientific projects (INEYE, PREMIUM). In the last FCT call I got approved an exploratory project (SmartLipoGel) as principal investigator. However, I also extending my research in other areas, in collaboration with colleagues, working on the separation and valorization of lignin, within the Inpactus project (with a PhD student); the projects ADHESIVESTEEL, intended to use a green resin as structural adhesive; TYRE4BUILDINS, use recycled tyre rubber as a main raw-material and mixed it aerogels to improve buildings isolation; and the copromotion WoF Project, for the optimization of the cork storage during storage. Also, during the last years I have collaborated in lecturing classes of some curricular units at the Department Chemical Engineering of University of Coimbra (DEQ/FCTUC) and at the Department Chemical and Biological Engineering of Coimbra Institute of Engineering (DEQB/ISEC-IPC). According to SCOPUS I have an h-index of 22 and 2110 citations based on 70 scientific publications indexed to this Database. The SCOPUS indexed documents are mainly articles and, according to Figure 1C, mostly within the areas of Chemistry (36 documents), Materials Science (32 documents), Chemical Engineering (31 documents) and Biochemistry (24 documents).

2006/11/29 - 2006/11/29 Research@FCTUC: The University of Coimbra is fertile in research projects in the most varied areas, some of them of high world renown. However, most of the university community is not aware of these important projects, only having the notion of their existence when they are (rarely) disseminated in the media. For this reason, this an event was created to serve as a showcase for the entire university community and not only for research at our university, namely the Faculty of Science and Technology.
