Raquel Oliveira Rodrigues PhD Thesis Defense

December 21, 2018

LSRE-LCM congratulates Raquel Oliveira Rodrigues for her PhD thesis defense on 21st December 2018 at FEUP.

Raquel Rodrigues finished the Doctoral Program in Chemical and Biological Engineering, with the PhD thesis entitled Magnetic carbon nanostructures and study of their transport in microfluidic devices for hyperthermia, supervised by Prof. Adrián Silva (LSRE-LCM/FEUP) and co-supervised by Prof. Helder Gomes (LSRE-LCM/IPB) and Prof. Rui Lima (CEFT/U.Minho).

As it is Christmas time, we wish Raquel a Merry Christmas and a successful New Year 2019!

Science & Technology Week 2018

November 19-23, 2018

A new edition of the Science & Technology Week 2017 took place at Department of Chemical Engineering - FEUP.

LSRE-LCM researchers together with LEPABE and CEFT organized a series of visits to the laboratories under the motto “Technological advances in emerging areas of Chemical, Environmental and Biotechnology   Engineering”.  

The event was mainly attended by MIEQ, MIEA and MIB students and also by some high school students and teachers.
