Position
Researcher
David Ribeiro (DR) graduated in Chemistry at FCUP in 2004, completed a master’s degree in Quality Control – Water and Food at FFUP in 2007, and earned a PhD in Pharmaceutical Sciences – Analytical Chemistry at FFUP in 2012, financed by the FCT grant SFRH/BD/42571/2007. Since March 2019, he has been working as a researcher hired by LAQV REQUIMTE at FFUP through the program DL 57/2016 – Norma transitória. His research activities have focused on the synthesis and characterization of semiconductor QDs with binary and ternary arrangements, as well as carbon dots, to be used as valuable tools in the development of chemiluminescence and photoluminescence-based methodologies for monitoring a myriad of analytes with environmental, pharmaceutical, and food interest.
