Raquel has received her M.Sc. degree in Micro and Nanotechnology Engineering from Faculdade de Ciências e Tecnologias, Universidade Nova de Lisboa in 2015. During her academic journey, she had the opportunity to develop the master thesis, Cellulose-based composites as functional conductive materials for printed electronics, at Cenimat|i3N, with the supervision of Prof. Dr. Luís Pereira (FCT-UNL).
She is now working as research fellow on the New-Fun project, focused on the development of cellulose nanocomposites for paper electronics.
Main scientific interests:
- Electro-conductive cellulose based composites
- Electrolyte-gated transistors
- Cellulose-based electrolytes
- Functionalized cellulose-based composites
- Screen-printing
- Paper-based electronic devices
