Ana Luísa Daniel-da-Silva graduated in Chemical Engineering (2000) by Instituto Superior Técnico (Lisbon, Portugal) in 2000 and got her Ph.D. in Materials Science from University of Alicante (Spain) in 2005. Since June 2009 she is Researcher at CICECO-Aveiro Institute of Materials and Chemistry Department of the University of Aveiro (UA). Her main scientific interests concern the development of nanostructured materials including functional nanoparticles and nanocomposites for applications in nanomedicine, bionanotechnology and water remediation. In particular she is interested in novel strategies for surface modification with biopolymers, aiming the development of green nanosorbents and biocompatible nanomaterials. She has authored or co-authored 3 patents, 6 book chapters and more than 60 papers in international peer reviewed journals. In addition she has co-edited the book 'Nanocomposite Particles for Bio-applications-Materials and Bio-interfaces' (Pan Stanford, 2011). She has been strongly involved to several teaching activities namely by lecturing topics for post-graduation students within the subjects Nanochemistry and Frontiers of Inorganic Chemistry. As part of her academic activities she has been involved in communicating chemistry for non-specialized audiences, in particular issues related to Nanotechnology and Nanomaterials. See less
