Marta C. Corvo has a PhD and a graduation in Chemistry, with a specialization in Organic Chemistry from NOVA School of Science and Technology, Portugal. After being an assistant professor at Piaget Institute and NOVA, she became a Post-doctoral fellow dedicated to CO2 capture and Nuclear Magnetic Resonance (NMR). In 2015 she joined CENIMAT and the Soft and Biofunctional Materials Group in the NMR lab. During the last years, she has been a researcher in SBMG and participates in graduate and post-graduate courses as an NMR lecturer. She published work and supervised several master theses focused on ionic liquid derived materials and NMR. Participated in international industry funded projects (PETROBRAS) as a team member, and a National project as NOVA-FCT team coordinator (CleanART). Currently she is the PI of project GREENPILs4CO2. Concluded the supervision of one PhD and one postDoc. Currently supervising 3 PhD students. Marta is also involved in science outreach activities being a regular collaborator of the Portuguese Chemical Society Bulletin (QUÍMICA).
