Profile Summary

I hold a PhD in Applied Chemistry and currently work as an Assistant Professor. I am also a Research Fellow at the University of Porto, Portugal, under an MSCA-related international research environment. My research focuses on materials science, catalysis, environmental chemistry, and membrane-based separation technologies. I work on the design of functional and nanostructured materials, catalytic systems, and green chemical processes for fuel purification, environmental remediation, and advanced separation applications. I have authored and co-authored 44 SCI-indexed peer-reviewed publications in international journals. Alongside research, I specialize in scientific writing, academic editing, and manuscript refinement. I improve clarity, structure, and language in scientific documents while maintaining technical accuracy and publication standards. I also review and edit manuscripts written by non-native English speakers for SCI journals. My expertise includes: • Materials science and surface engineering • Catalysis and environmental chemistry • Membrane and separation technologies • Scientific writing, editing, and proofreading • Research communication and manuscript preparation In addition, I am a published poetess and columnist, which strengthens my ability to refine language, tone, and readability across both technical and non-technical writing. I am committed to delivering clear, accurate, and publication-ready scientific communication with strong attention to detail.
