Position
Researcher

Andreia F. M. Santos graduated in Biochemistry (FCT-NOVA) in 2013 and, two years later, concluded her Master's Degree in Biotechnology (FCT-NOVA). During her studies, she had the opportunity to work two months as an Engineer’s Assistant under the AMPTEC Project at Université de Lille, France. In 2016, she did an Erasmus+ internship (WORK+ Scholarship) at King’s College London, United Kingdom. Currently, she is a PhD Student at FCT-NOVA and her main research interests are: i) ionic liquids, ii) liquid crystals, iii) advanced materials, iv) green chemistry, v) differential scanning calorimetry, vi) polarized optical microscopy and vii) dielectric relaxation spectroscopy.
