Description

Joana received her degree in Physics Engineering from Universidade Nova de Lisboa in 2000. She concluded a Ph.D in Applied Physics at the same university with the thesis: “Modification of the Electric and Magnetic Properties of Metallic Oxides by Ion Implantation” work that was developed at Instituto Tecnológico e Nuclear (ITN) and in collaboration with Faculdade de Ciências da Universidade de Lisboa. Joana is currently a PosDoc researcher at the materials research centre CENIMAT. The main topics of her research are focused on the development of thin film transistors based on amorphous semiconductor oxides, to be used as biosensors (ISFET, ENFET and DNAFET). Main scientific interests: Thin film transistors, ISFET, biosensors, flexible and disposable sensors Materials Characterization using AFM , XRD and RBS techniques
