EMPLOYMENT

Current Position

UCIBIO, Requimte/Departamento de Química e Bioquímica, Porto

Dec 2005 to present

Investigador Auxiliar

I am currently employed as an "Investigador Auxiliar"(Assistant Researcher), at UCIBIO, which is apart of Requimte, and I work in the Chemistry and Biochemistry Department, Faculty of Sciences of the University of Porto, Portugal. I am also at the present time a Special Invited Researcher at the CNPq - Biotec/UFPI, Parnaíba, Piaui, in Brazil. I work with Atomic Force Microscopy modes and applications to study parasites and natural products, nanoparticle-based genetic diagnostic devices, bacteria and mammalian cells, and am involved in many other projects. I have recently also been using scanning electron microscopy, and am running several nanoparticle-based projects.

Oct 2004 to Dec 2005

FCT Research Fellow

FCT funded postdoctoral project on novel AFM measurements of conducting films and nanostructures.

Instituto de Investigaciones Quimicas, Seville, Spain

Jan 2002 to Sept 2004

Becario (Research Fellow)

EU / Spanish Ministry of Education and Science funded project on interactions between carbohydrate functionalised nanoparticles and DNA. Making Atomic Force Microscopy(AFM) measurements of nanoparticle - DNA interactions. I also studied carbohydrate-carbohydrate interactions with the AFM, and made tribological measurements on thin films using the AFM.

School of Pharmacy and Biomedical Sciences, University of Portsmouth, 1998-Dec 2001

 

Research Associate.

Studying a range of surfaces, especially polymer surfaces using atomic force microscopy (AFM). Developing new analysis techniques using the AFM. Producing polymer film samples, characterising using AFM and contact-angle goniometry and mapping adhesion forces and mechanical parameters across the polymer. Also developing analysis software to process and display the results. Also responsible for running of FTIR unit in the School of Pharmacy.


EDUCATION

Royal Microscopical Society, 2016

Diploma in Microscopy

Dip. Microscopy from the RMS, project titled "A Combined Microscopic Study of the Interactions of Nanoparticles with Cells". Awarded September 2016 .

Materials Research Institute, Sheffield Hallam University, 1998

Ph.D.

Ph.D. project investigating the mechanisms of adhesion in glass / PVC / organosilane laminates. This was achieved by using infrared, Raman microscopic and thermal measurements to assess the interdiffusion of the PVC and organosilane materials, and the reactions that occur in the bulk polymer and at the interfaces.

Institute of Polymer Technology and Materials Engineering, Loughborough University of Technology, 1995

MSc. in Polymer Technology

Including optional module in polymer science. The research project was to devise, develop and assess a novel nylon to rubber adhesion system, using no adhesive interlayer. The work was carried out in collaboration with Avon - Clevite limited.

Chemistry Department, University of York, 1994

BSc. Honours in Chemistry ( Class II/ii )

A modular course in which specialised options were materials science, computers in chemistry, catalysis, energy studies, advanced physical chemistry, and fast reactions. The final year research project involved the investigation of a novel thermoreversible gel.
