Researcher IDA-8765-2012
Ciência ID4D15-6F4B-80A2
LCS graduated in Technological Chemistry (1998, FCUL) and got the PhD in Chemistry (2005, UA); after an international experience at Univ of Leeds (UK), he embraced an independent career at CQE/IST/UL and, posteriorly moved for the REQUIMTE / LAQV (2009, FCUP), creating and leading his own research group in Functional Crystalline Materials. His main R&D interests encompass the porous metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) for gas adsorption / storage / separation, the composite hybrid materials for heterogeneous catalysis, the photoluminescent lanthanide based coordination polymers, as potential optical sensors and others. LCS (co)supervised several researchers/students and is (co)author of more than 150 scientific papers
