Rita Craveiro was born in 1983 in Covilhã. She graduated in chemistry in 2008 from Universidade de Coimbra and received her MSc in 2010 from the Universidade de Aveiro. She obtained her PhD in Sustainable Chemistry in 2015 from Universidade Nova de Lisboa, in alternative processes for bio-based polymer processing, under the supervision of Dr. Alexandre Paiva, Dr. Ana Rita Duarte and Professor Susana Barreiros. She is currently a Post-Doc at the Faculdade de Ciencias e Tecnologia of the Universidade Nova de Lisboa and associated laboratory LAQV@Requimte, and is involved in various projects and in the supervision of master students.

Her main research interests are focused on the area of green chemistry and in the development, characterization and application of deep eutectic solvents in areas that range from polymer processing, biomass processing to biocatalysis and enantiomeric separations. She also works in areas such as supercritical fluids and their applications with eutectic solvents. Currently, she is the author and co-author of several scientific papers, mainly in the area of eutectic solvents, polymer processing and characterization.
