Description
PhD. in Materials Science and Engineering (FCT/UNL, 2014); MSc. in Biotechnology (FCT/UNL, 2009); BSc. in Applied Chemistry (FCT/UNL, 2007);
Ana Baptista is a researcher at CENIMAT|I3N - NOVA School of Science and Technology. Her research is mainly focused on the development of innovative smart textiles based on biocompatible polymers with multifunctional properties envisaging their application in energy conversion systems and medical devices. Currently, she is the principal investigator of the project
All-FIBRE: All-Fibre Integrated Photovoltaic Storage Device for e-Textiles (PTDC/CTM-CTM/1571/2020) funded through national funds by Fundação para a Ciência e a Tecnologia.
During the last years, she has published work and supervised several master theses in the field of cellulose-based bio-batteries, glucose sensitive electrospun membranes, photosensitive and fluorescent fibers, electrically controlled drug delivery systems, and 3D-printing of biocompatible materials.
