A.M.R.F. Pinto, graduated in Chemical Engineering at the Faculty of Engineering, University of Porto (FEUP), is a Full Professor in the Department of Chemical Engineering, since 2022, Aggregation awarded in 2015, Director of the Doctoral Program in Engineering Chemical and Biological (PDEQB) since January 2010. Since 1997, A.M.R.F. Pinto is a member of the Transport Phenomena Research Center (CEFT) presently the vice Scientific Coordinator and the Head of the Energy Group. After her PhD in 1991 on Coal Combustion, oriented activities for the Transport Phenomena area with particular interest in Mass Transfer and Characterization of two-phase flow patterns using advanced optical techniques. More recently (in the past fifteen years), integrated the know how acquired with other skills of her core formation in Chemical Engineering, in Energy applications in particular in the Fuel Cell area, namely the Direct Methanol and Ethanol Fuel Cells (modelling and experimental studies), Microbial Fuel Cells, PEM Fuel Cells /Electrolysers and Hydrogen Generators and Storage (Chemical Hydrides) systems. A.M.R.F. Pinto has published more than 100 scientific articles in international journals, indexed to Scopus (70% in the last 10 years), receiving more than 3100 citations (H-index of 32), published two books and more than 10 book chapters. Principal Investigator in 12 national projects and member of the team in 14 (2 with industry partners). Involved in two European projects as Local Responsible. She was member of European Network FCTESTNET (Fuel Cell Testing and standardisation Network) and is member of CYTED - Red HIDRÓGENO: "Producción y Usos en el Transporte e Y el Sector Elétrico" - H2TRANSEL. Invited regularly to be an expert evaluator of Horizon 2020 and Horizon Europa Projects.

2010 - Current Thesis Project: Critical knowledge of the state-of-the-art of the research theme to be addressed in the PhD thesis. Capacity to identify one (or more) open question(s) and design a research plan to answer it. The main result is the writing and presentation of this research plan. Doctoral Program in Chemical and Biological Engineering (Curso de doutoramento (conclusão de unidades curriculares)) Universidade do Porto Faculdade de Engenharia, Portugal
2009 - Current Renewable Energies II: Promoting the development and internalization of methodical procedures for organizing information. • Increasing the performance on writing and oral communication, and on team work, appealing namely, to negotiation and resolution of conflicts. • Stimulating innovation, intervention and opening mind to change. • Promoting procedures that simultaneously consider economical, environmental, social and ethical factors, for the resolution of problems with different levels of complexity. Master in Chemical Engineering (Mestrado integrado) Universidade do Porto Faculdade de Engenharia, Portugal
1990 - Current Transport phenomena: The course is focused on the study of Mass Transfer phenomena. The students should acquire here sound basic knowledge on: physical and the mathematical description of mass transfer mechanisms (diffusion and convection), transport of a solute between phases in contact, concept of individual and global mass transfer resistances.
