Research Engineer in heterogeneous catalysis | PhD in Chemistry

Summary

Currently recuiting for a PhD position on mechano-catalytic recycling of textiles, more information here: https://theses.ifpen.fr/en/thesis/towards-selective-chemical-recycling-textile-fibres-through-mechano-catalysis 

After a Master’s Degree in Chemical Engineering (Instituto Superior Técnico, Lisbon) I pursued a PhD in heterogenous catalysis developing a multi-technique approach to the characterization and rationalization of bifunctional catalysts combining, XAS (ESRF, Grenoble), STEM (IPCMS, Strasbourg), NMR (CRMN, Veilleurbanne) and DFT. Since I have joined the Catalysis by Sulphides department at IFPEN working on the development of bifunctional hydrocracking catalysts. I have recently expanded my research to chemical plastic recycling, biomass conversion and biobased product synthesis (PEPR B-BEST, project Optisfuel), and microalgae based water treatment solutions.
