Ana Marta Brito Awarded 2nd Place for Best Poster at PFiC 2026

Ana Marta Brito, a project researcher at LSRE-LCM, received the 2nd place for Best Poster Award at the PFiC 2026 | PACKAGING OF THE FUTURE® International Conference for her work entitled "CFD Analysis of Heat Transfer in Glass Melting Furnaces Fuelled by Methane and Hydrogen". 

The work was developed under the supervision of Dr. Yaidelin Marinque, Dr. Ricardo Santos, and Dr. Isabel Barbosa, and contributes to the ongoing research into more sustainable industrial processes, in line with the EU’s climate-neutrality target by 2050. This research was carried out within the scope of the project “Embalagem do Futuro | + ECOLÓGICA + DIGITAL + INCLUSIVA” (C644931699-00000042, Investment Project No. 59), funded by the Recovery and Resilience Plan (PRR) and the European Union – NextGenerationEU.

This distinction recognizes the quality and impact of the research developed at LSRE-LCM.

Congratulations to Marta on this achievement!"

Rita Barros Receives Best Poster Award in Health & Biomedicine at Graphene Week 2026

21 to 25 September
Rita Barros, a PhD student at LSRE-LCM working under the supervision of Prof. Joaquim Faria and Prof. Cláudia Silva, received Best Poster Award on Health & Biomedicine at Graphene Week 2026.
The work presented, entitled "Graphitic Carbon Nitride as a Photosensitizer for Cancer Therapy", was carried out during a research stay at KU Leuven, supported by an EMBO Scientific Exchange Grant. This stay strengthened the partnership between the two research teams and encouraged innovative, interdisciplinary approaches to cancer treatment.
Graphene Week brought together more than 400 researchers, industry leaders, entrepreneurs, and students in Porto from 21 to 25 September for the 21st edition of Europe’s leading conference on graphene and 2D materials, held in Portugal for the first time.
