Carlos M. Silva works at CICECO–Aveiro Institute of Materials, Department of Chemistry, University of Aveiro (UA), as an associate professor. He received his Ph.D. in 1998 from the Department of Chemical Engineering of the Faculty of Engineering of the University of Porto (Portugal), working on diffusion coefficients in supercritical mixtures. He worked three years (1996-1999) at the Polytechnic Institute of Bragança (Portugal) and has been in the Department of Chemistry of the UA since mid-1999. He is the guest editor of MDPI's journals Materials and Processes. His research interests mainly focus on transport properties (mainly diffusion coefficients in liquids and supercritical fluids, phenomenological modelling, and molecular dynamics simulations), separation processes (adsorption/simulated moving bed, ion exchange, membranes, and supercritical fluid extraction), and the synthesis and characterisation of microporous materials for catalysis and separation processes. His scientific output includes 194 publications, corresponding to 5773 citations (h-index 43) (Scopus, 5 December 2023).
