Personal profile
Research interests
I am a conservation scientist of synthetic polymers with a PhD focused on the conservation of polyurethane (2017, FCT NOVA). I have 10 years of experience in conservation research focused on synthetic polymers identification and ageing studies. I have gained an independent research profile in the study of plastics, foams and rubber degradation as well as on the conservation practice and development of preventive strategies for such polymers. I am an Invited Assistant Professor at DCR FCT NOVA and co-founder of the first spin-off of DCR FCT NOVA, NEON Art Conservation Lda.
