Nélia Cristina Tadeu Tavares. Completed the bachelor's degree in Chemistry in 2014 and the master's degree in Advanced and Industrial Chemistry in 2016, both by University of Coimbra. Is a PhD student since 2017 and actually a researcher in University of Coimbra, in the area of colloid chemistry. Published five articles in scientific journals, did seven oral presentations and eleven poster presentations. Organized six events and participated in twenty-six. Has received six awards. She was also a member of the organising committee in six events, one of them international, and a member of the scientific committee in two events. During her academic path, was a member and a department coordinator at Núcleo de Estudantes de Química da Associação Académica de Coimbra (NEQ/AAC). In 2017, was a founding member of Molecular Junior Enterprise, an association implemented to disseminate, communicate and value Chemistry as a fundamental science.
