Position
Researcher

I have a graduation and a master degree in Chemical Engineering awarded in 2011. In 2015 I began my PhD studies in Sustainable Chemistry at Faculty of Pharmacy of University of Porto and concluded in July of 2019. Since September of 2019, I am a Post-Doc researcher in REQUIMTE-LAQV, integrating a project consisting in the development of electrochemical (bio)sensors for pharmaceuticals detection. Briefly, I am (co)author of 12 indexed papers and more than 10 communications in national and international conferences.
My research interests are mainly in the development of electrochemical analytical systems and biofuel cells
