Simone Morais has a Ph.D. (1998) in Chemical Engineering from the faculty of Engineering of the University of Porto and the Habilitation title in Chemical and Biological Engineering (2022). She is Full Professor at the Department of Chemical Engineering at the Polytechnic Institute of Porto, ISEP (Portugal) and permanent researcher at REQUIMTE–LAQV (http://www.requimte.pt/laqv/). Her research fields cross sensors and biosensors; environmental monitoring; human biomonitoring; green technologies; air pollution; circular economy; and analytical chemistry. Recently, she participated in the Working Group of the International Agency for Research on Cancer (IARC – World Health Organization), which evaluated the carcinogenicity of anthracene, 2-bromopropane, butyl methacrylate, and hydrogen dimethylphosphite. S. Morais co-authored about 230 ISI papers (h=48) and about 40 book chapters, having supervised several PhD and post-doctoral fellows, and having participated and coordinated several projects.
