Curriculum Vitae

Daniela Rebelo de Figueiredo

Daniela de Figueiredo is a researcher at CESAM (Centre for Environmental and Marine Studies) & Dep. Biology, University of Aveiro (Portugal). She graduated in Biology at the University of Aveiro (1999), following a post-graduation in Applied Ecology at the University of Porto (2000). In 2003, she obtained a master degree in Molecular Microbiology at the University of Aveiro, where she also concluded her PhD in Biology (2010), followed by a post-doc. She has started under an ecotoxicological context and then integrated molecular biology approaches to study the ecology of cyanobacterial blooms. Simultaneously, over the past two decades, she has been also involved in several Science Communication, Environmental Education and Citizen Science projects, which have further strengthened her interest for these areas, also highlighted in many of her book chapters and conference communications. Presently, she has published more than 60 communications, 14 book chapters and 24 papers, with a H-index of 14 and reaching about 950 citations (source: Scopus) with more than 50 co-authors, highlighting her seek to integrate diverse areas to go further in understanding her research subjects.
