SHORT CV

Ana Baptista is a researcher at CENIMAT|i3N - NOVA School of Science and Technology with a PhD in Materials Science and Engineering since 2014. Her research is mainly focused on the development of innovative smart textiles based on biocompatible polymers with multifunctional properties envisaging their application in energy conversion systems and medical devices. Particularly, she has been investigating functional fibers and textiles for sweat-based supercapacitors, biocompatible batteries, glucose sensitive electrospun membranes, piezoresistive textiles for medical sensors and electrically controlled drug delivery systems. Besides, Ana has been involved in other research topics related with the development of multifunctional polymeric coatings for metal implants and 3D-printing of metals, polymers, and ceramic-based materials for medical applications.During the last years, Ana has been participating in several national and international projects related with energy generation systems, paper functionalization for new products (with The Navigator Company) and 3D-printing of ceramic-based medical implants (with InnovNano Company). Currently, she is the principal investigator of the project All-FIBRE that aims at the development of a fiber-shaped photovoltaic storage devices able to harvest and store energy to supply electronic textiles while keeping wearable, lightweight and flexibility characteristics.
