CERENA-IST

.

Graduated in Biomedical Engineering in 2022 by the University of Aveiro, where he also obtained a Master’s degree in Biomedical Engineering in 2024, with a dissertation focused on the development of injectable bone cements for mechanical support in bone fractures, in collaboration with the company Artur Salgado S.A. In July 2022 he carried out a project with the aim of exploring the cytotoxicity and healing potential of the interaction of reactive oxygen species (ROS) with cells. His academic and research path has been oriented towards biomaterials, medical physics, and nanotechnology, with experience in material characterization techniques such as XRD, SEM, FTIR, UV-Vis spectroscopy, and cytotoxicity/bioactivity assays. He has been actively engaged in scientific and student communities, serving as Secretary and Business Relations member of the EMBS Chapter University of Aveiro (IEEE Engineering in Medicine and Biology Society) and as Business Relations member of IEEE Women in Engineering UA. His research interests include biomaterials for regenerative medicine, nanostructured materials for tissue healing, and biomedical applications of medical physics.
