Telma Costa got her PhD degree in Chemistry at the University of Coimbra, in 2009. She worked in collaboration with Lund University, CICECO (University of Aveiro), and Instituto Superior Técnico (Lisbon). In 2009, she joined the Center for Polymers & Organic Solids, at University of California Santa Barbara, for 1 year, and returned to UC in 2010, as a post-doc fellow. She did several, EU funded, short visits to MAX National Research Laboratory for Nuclear Physics and Synchrotron Radiation (Sweden), and to Rutherford Appleton Laboratory (United Kingdom). In 2010/2012 she was Invited Assistant Professor at UC. Currently, she is a Junior Researcher at the University of Coimbra. Her scientific interests span water soluble conjugated polymers and oligomers, self-assembly in polymer-surfactant systems, excited-state processes and design of functional materials for optical sensors, solar cells, LED applications and redox-flow batteries.
