Nuno Silva is an accomplished physicist working among chemists with a strong research profile in magnetic nanoparticles, nanothermometers
and hyperthermia. He obtained his degree in physics from the School of Sciences at the University of Porto, Portugal (1999),
and his M.S. degree in Materials Sciences and Engineering from the University of Aveiro (2003). He performed research on magnetic
nanoparticles towards his Ph.D. in Physics at University of Aveiro and received his degree in 2006. He then earned a Spanish
Research Council Grant to develop magnetic nanoparticles for biomedical applications at the University of Zaragoza, Spain.
In May 2009 Nuno decided to join CICECO at the University of Aveiro, after earning a Ciencia2008 Grant from the Portuguese
Science Foundation. He gained international recognition in the field by measuring for the first time temperature at the surface
of magnetic nanoparticles used as local heaters (Adv. Mater. 2010 and ACS Nano 2015), receiving an Award for encouragement
of Research by The Materials Research Society of Japan in 2014. Nuno Silva has continuously made significant contributions
to his field and has an outstanding track record in obtaining external funding through the the European Research Council ERC
and national research funder FCT. Presently, he leads a group devoted to the development of magnetic nanoparticles for Magnetic
and Temperature Imaging. Nuno co-authors 3 book chapters, 4 international patents and ~90 papers (~4500 times cited without
self-citations; h=29, ISI). In 2001, Nuno concluded Piano and Composition studies at the Music Conservatoire of Porto.
