Patrícia Costa concluded her Master’s degree in Chemical Engineering in 2016, with a specialization in Biosystems at the University of Coimbra. Her master thesis research was conducted in the area of nanomaterials, focusing on the stabilization of nanotubes suspensions for further applications on chemical stabilization of soft soils.
Currently, she is a member of the COMPASS group at CICECO, and her work is mainly focused on the chemical functionalization of polymers of natural origin, for tissue engineering applications.
Some of her main interests outside of work include travelling, reading and hiking.
