Popup Ana Nunes

Ana V.M. Nunes completed her PhD in Chemical Reaction Engineering in 2008 by FCT-NOVA focusing on high-pressure technologies, particularly extraction and reaction processes. From 2009 to 2011, she worked as a project manager in the field of drug delivery, specifically formulation and micronization, at IBET. In 2011, Ana V.M. Nunes was awarded a post-doc grant and started her research on the field of CO2 utilization as a carbon feedstock in the manufacture of valuable products. In 2013, she founded with two University colleagues, Zeyton Nutraceuticals, a technology-based start-up to produce natural extracts from olive oil by-products. The technology is based on patents granted in the USA, Europe and other countries. Since 2015, she is an Assistant Researcher at LAQV-REQUIMTE. She was granted Principal Investigator of several FCT Research Projects, supervised MSc and PhD students, and has also relevant pedagogical experience, mainly through a regular collaboration with teaching at the Chemistry Department of FCT/NOVA.
