Position
Researcher
Salete graduated in Technological Chemistry at Univ of Lisbon in 1997 and completed the PhD in Inorganic Chemistry at Univ. of Aveiro in 2004. Salete worked for approximately two years in international research groups: Emory Univ, USA, and De Montfort Univ, UK, learning innovative methodologies to prepare oxomettalic compounds. After the PhD, she started the postdoctoral work in oxometal complexes: synthesis and catalytic applications, in the Univ. of York, UK, and in CICECO. During this time, she developed her expertise in Material Science and Catalysis. From 2009 she is a researcher in LAQV-REQUIMTE working in oxidative catalysis. She published 95 papers in international journals (h-index = 29, 2291 citations) and 53 as senior author.
