Maria João Narciso Furtado de Melo Pereira

Description

Alumni - Ex-Colaboradora do CENIMAT|i3N

Maria João finished her PhD in Conservation and Restoration (field of Conservation Sciences) in 2013 with her dissertation entitled “Chinese coins in copper-based alloys: elemental and microstrutural characterization” at CENIMAT/I3N and Faculdade de Ciências e Tecnologia, Universidade Nova de Lisboa. Previously she had undergone a 5-year degree in Conservation and Restoration also at FCT-UNL. During 2013 she worked in a financed project “Earlymetal” at CENIMAT/I3N regarding the copper archeometallurgy of the Iberian Peninsula. Her main interests are on metal conservation and restoration, focusing on ancient Cu alloys metallurgy, their microstructures and composition: Cu-Zn (brasses); Cu-Sn (bronzes). Cu ternary systems (Cu-Zn-Sn; Cu-Zn-Sb; Cu-Fe-As).
