Curriculum Vitae

Ana Lúcia Pires

Dra Ana Pires earned her PhD in Physics from the University of Porto, Portugal, in 2019, focusing on the development of thermoelectric materials for energy harvesting applications. Post-PhD, she led a work package in the EIC WipTherm pathfinder project, focusing on innovative thermal energy solutions. In 2023, Ana was awarded a prestigious CEEC contract by the Portuguese Foundation for Science and Technology (FCT) to develop the Thermag4SENSE project, which targets the creation of energy harvesting systems based on thermal magnetic effects. Recently, she was appointed as an Auxiliary Researcher at the Faculty of Sciences, University of Porto, where she continues her work on advanced materials for energy applications within the Institute of Physics for Advanced Materials, Nanotechnology and Photonics (IFIMUP). AP’s research primarily explores thermal management, energy harvesting, additive manufacturing including screen-printing, and micro/nanomaterials for multifunctional applications, with a current focus on thermoelectric and magnetocaloric Materials. She has published 55 peer-reviewed journal articles, holding an h-index=19 (Scopus source). She is the PI since 2023 of an international project PESSOA which Toulouse University is partner. AP is actively involved in outreach activities, including conference organization and scientific dissemination. Her outstanding scientific research was recognized at national/international levels by winning scientific prizes, highlighting the EMRS spring meeting award 2017. To data, AP already count with officially (co)supervisor of 19 young researchers (PhD, MSc and BSc). She has experience in coordination roles, including being the WP Leader of the EIC-pathfinder project and managing day-to-day lab operations. Her research interests include thermal energy harvesting, exploring the properties of topological insulators, and developing innovative self-power electronic tattoos for biosensing applications.
