Description

PhD in Material Science, specialization Metallurgy (1999, FCT-UNL, Lisbon, Portugal). Graduation in Metallurgical Engineering (1985, IST-UNL, Lisbon, Portugal). Main interest in: - Physical metallurgy: structural characterization of metallic materials. Structural, thermal and mechanical effects, resulting from thermo-mechanical processing of metallic alloys. Archaeometallurgy applications for copper based alloys. - Corrosion (electrochemistry): kinetic evaluation of corrosion/passivation mechanisms and corrosion products identification. Optimization of reductive electrochemical processes. Diagnosis and Conservation of metallic (archaeological and museological) objects
