Short CV

http://www.researcherid.com/rid/H-3640-2013

Graduated in Ceramics and Glass Engineering (1988) in Aveiro University (UA). In 1992 got a M.Sc. in Materials and Science Engineering from the same University. From 1992 to 1997 worked, as executive, in the Vitricer/Fritta company (supplier of enamels, serigraphic inks, etc, for ceramic companies) and then (1997-2000) was responsible for the R&D Department of Revigrés (wall and floor tiles ceramic factory). In 2000 started her Ph.D. at UA on dielectric materials for microwave applications and after that took a Post-Doctoral position working in the development and characterization of rehabilitation mortars. Since 2008 is researcher at CICECO.

Scientific Interests

Development and industrial implementation of new materials, namely, inorganic pigments, products with new surface functionalities and porous ceramics.

Recycling - Development of inorganic pigments, clinker and geopolymers from industrial wastes, promoting, in some cases, the inertization of hazardous materials.

Photocatalysis - Deposition and study of photocatalytic (aqueous and gaseous decontamination, self-cleaning and antibacterial) layers based on TiO2.

Mortars – Formulation and testing of aerial lime based mortars having new functionalities.

Traditional ceramic materials – Development and optimization of porous ceramic wall and floor tiles.
