Curriculum Vitae

Adriana Catarina da Costa Gomes

Adriana Gomes is a PhD student in Nanosciences and Nanotechnology at the University of Aveiro. She completed her BSc in Biotechnology in 2019 and her MSc in Molecular Biotechnology in 2021, both at the University of Aveiro. During her academic path, her BSc project and MSc thesis focused on exploring coordination chemistry for biomedical applications, which gave her the opportunity to acquire autonomy in a laboratory environment, try several experimental techniques (e.g. UV-Vis, FTIR, FT-Raman spectroscopies, TGA, EA), and develop critical thinking. Adriana participated in several scientific meetings and was involved in four poster presentations at national and international conferences. She has co-authored a scientific article published in an international journal and is currently writing two review articles. Adriana is passionate about life and the unknown. She aims to find out how everything works, and that is where her path and science meet.
