Description

I obtained my master’s degree in Micro and Nanotechnologies from FCT-UNL on November, 2018.  The master thesis entitled “Paper-based nanoplatforms for multifunctional applications” was developed at CENIMAT i3N under the supervision of Prof. Dra. Daniela Gomes and co-supervision of Dra. Ana Pimentel. The work was focused on the development of sustainable paper based nanoplatforms of oxide semiconductors for photocatalytic degradation, antibacterial activity and UV sensing. 

I am currently a PhD student focused on the development of 3D TiO2 photocatalysts for green urea production, water purification and CO2 capture under sunlight. 

Main scientific interests:   Nanomaterials, Green nanotechnology, water purification, photocatalysis, materials characterization, TiO2 nanostructures
