Mariana Moreira
Period at LSRE-LCM: 2014 - 2018
Mariana Moreira graduated in Chemical Engineering at the Polytechnic of Oporto - School of Engineering (ISEP) in 2007. She received her Ph.D. degree in Chemical and Biological Engineering from the University of Porto in 2013, with the Ph.D. thesis entitled “Separation of Xylene Isomers with Metal-Organic Framework (MOF) Adsorbents”. Since 2013, she is a Post-Doctoral Researcher in the Associate Laboratory LSRE-LCM, and her main activities continue to focus on the study and design of cyclic separation processes.
