Ana Filipa Cardoso Barra concluiu o Doutoramento em Nanociências e Nanotecnologia pela Universidade de Aveiro em janeiro de 2024. Obteve o título de Doutoramento Europeu, tendo a tese sido defendida com honra e distinção. É também Mestre em Bioquímica pela mesma instituição (2015) e licenciada em Bioquímica pela Universidade de Coimbra (2013). Atualmente é investigadora na Universidade de Aveiro. Publicou 12 artigos em revistas científicas e recebeu 2 prémios/distinções. Integra ou integrou equipas de investigação em 11 projetos, atuando como bolseira de doutoramento (1), bolseira de investigação (4), investigadora (1) e como membro do grupo de trabalho de 5 ações COST. A sua atividade de investigação insere-se na área das Ciências da Engenharia e Tecnologias, com ênfase em Engenharia de Materiais, especialmente no desenvolvimento de compósitos e biocompósitos funcionais. No seu percurso, os termos mais recorrentes que contextualizam a sua produção científica incluem: embalagem ativa, biocompósitos, biopolímeros, preservação de alimentos, segurança alimentar, quitosana, derivativos do grafeno, nanoestruturas de carbono, biocompósitos funcionais, condutividade elétrica e hipertermia magnética. Nota contextual: Entre 19/03/2024 e 15/08/2024, esteve de licença de maternidade, durante um período de transição entre a conclusão do doutoramento e o início de uma nova posição de investigação.
