Biography

Tatiana Vitorino holds a bachelor in Conservation and Restoration (2010) and a master degree in Conservation and Restoration with specialisation in Conservation Science (2012), both courses offered by the DCR FCT-UNL, where she kept working as a research grantee (2013-2014). Her research interest concerns the study of paintings and artists’ materials, applying multi-analytical approaches and using HART, while working within an interdisciplinary team. Her work has been mostly related to the investigation of red lake pigments and she has been using techniques such as microspectrofluorimetry, FORS, FTIR and HPLC-DAD. Tatiana is also an active member of the COST Action TD1201, COSCH. In 2015, she became a CORES PhD student in Conservation Science, in a collaboration between FCT-UNL and IFAC-CNR Italy. Her doctoral project will consist in creating a comprehensive hyperspectral imaging reference database of well-characterised chromophores of red dyes and historically accurate reconstructions of red lakes and paints.
