Summary

M. J. Lima has a BSc in Biomedical Engineering (IPB, 2009) and an MSc in Micro and Nano Technologies (UM, 2012). After her MSc, she accepted a position as a research fellow at LSRE-LCM (University of Porto). In 2014, she continued in the same laboratory as a doctoral student, with the thesis “Selective photocatalytic conversions integrated on a continuous-flow microfluidic process”. She had a research stay abroad at the University of Bath, UK, in 2017. In early 2019, she finished her PhD, which was recently awarded the prize “Fundação Engenheiro António de Almeida”.
In October 2019, she moved to the CF-UM-UP at the University of Minho. She is a postdoctoral fellow of On-Surf, a mobilizing project that involves national companies and I&D entities and focuses on applying surface engineering to different areas. M J Lima studied the surface interactions of thin films with polymers and pharmaceutical compounds. She also gained experience in the deposition of thin films by magnetron sputtering on polymeric substrates with antimicrobial properties.
M J Lima published 17 papers in ISI journals (h-index = 10 and 433 citations), one book chapter, and co-authored 32 abstracts at national and international peer-reviewed conference proceedings, 14 of which were selected as oral communications. M J Lima acted as laboratory advisor for six researchers, supervisor of three graduate students and supervisor/co-supervisor of two MSc student (one ongoing). 

Current Work

Post-Doctoral Fellow of the On-SURF project - POCI-01-0247-FEDER-024521
M. J. Lima currently works on the ON-SURF project, a mobilizing program that involves national companies from different sectors of activity and non-corporate entities from I&D.
One objective of this project is to perform superficial treatments and coatings for application on antibacterial and anti-adherent surfaces.

Areas of interest

  • Thin films with catalytic, antimicrobial and anti-adherent properties
