José Ferraz-Caetano is a chemist and historian with a degree in Chemistry and master's degrees in Chemistry and Contemporary History. He has a PhD scholarship from the MIT-Portugal Program at the LAQV-REQUIMTE Laboratory, University of Porto, where he develops Data Science and Artificial Intelligence (AI) methods to predict chemical properties and reactions. He was a visiting researcher at the Department of Chemical Engineering at MIT (USA) in the field of AI and a Fulbright scholar at the University of California, Irvine (USA) on a project about disinformation and scientific knowledge. José has also collaborated with the Institute of Contemporary History at the University of Évora, focusing on the role of chemistry in scientific regulation, actively participating in organizations such as the SPQ History of Chemistry Group, the International Younger Chemists Network and the European Society for the History of Science.
