Hired PhD Researcher under the project - Development of plastic antibodies for recognition of bio-molecules using a green strategy, funded by FCT-MCTES (PTDC/EQU-EQU/32473/2017).

2014

Visiting PhD Student at Biotechnology group at Department of Chemistry, University of Leicester, UK.

2010-2013

Research fellow at CleanMIPTech@Green Polymer Synthesis & Processing Laboratory (REQUIMTE, Chemistry Department, Faculty of Sciences and Technology, NOVA University of Lisbon), as team member in the following projects: PTDC/QUI‐QUI/102460/2008, PTDC/QUI/66086/2006, UID/QUI/50006/2013, PTDC/QEQ-PRS/2757/2012 and IF/00915/2014.

Participation in Industrial Innovation

Participation on COHiTEC programme, 2016 edition (March to July), a training program in technology commercialization with the aim of supporting the valorization of the knowledge produced at Portuguese R&D institutions in which I was a team member of CleanMIPTech project. The programme also supports the creation of technology based startups and the licensing of technologies though Technology Commercialization Accelerator (Act) – a COTEC initiative.

Participation on Life Long Learning Intensive Course 2012 – “Process Intensification by High Pressure Technologies – Actual Strategies for Energy and Resources Conservation”, University of Maribor, Slovenia and Graz University of Technology, Austria (July 2012). The European Summer School was promoted by the members of the European Federation of Chemical Engineering (EFCE) and it was given by recognised European experts, both in the theoretical aspects and in the industrial applications of high pressure technologies.
