Ana Isabel Gomes
Ana Isabel Gomes is graduated in Biology (2003), from the Faculty of Science of the University of Porto (FCUP), holds a master's degree in Environmental Engineering (2007) and a PhD in Chemical and Biological Engineering (2021), both from the Faculty of Engineering of the University of Porto (FEUP). Her scientific domains are focused on water quality monitoring (chemical, bacteriological and ecotoxicological characterization), water disinfection, and wastewater treatment & reuse (including biological processes, advanced oxidation processes driven by natural and/or artificial radiation, ozone-based, and membrane technology). Since 2023, she has been a Junior Researcher in the field of advanced processes and technologies for water/wastewater treatment, and process integration and intensification.
