Nicole Viana Ferreira holds a degree in Chemistry (2019) and completed a Master's in Analytical Chemistry and Quality Control in 2021 at the University of Aveiro. After finishing her master thesis (2021), she obtained a research grant in the Co-promotion project called MARemPó - Water from brine as a sustainable source of compounds for the development of commercial products for aquaculture (POCI-01-0247-FEDER-0047200). In 2022, she started her PhD in Chemistry at the University of Aveiro (2022.13017.BD) to selectively remove critical raw materials from wind turbine magnets. Her current scientific interests include removal of critical raw materials, recovery of high economic value elements (e.g., rare earths) using graphene-based materials and biosorbents, method validation, implementation of accreditation in testing laboratories, quality assurance in testing laboratories, fortification of essential minerals in marine macroalgae, and the removal of classical contaminants (e.g., Hg). Since 2017, she has actively participated in the dissemination of knowledge in schools and in the community, organizing various seminars, workshops, and other events (e.g., Junior Chemistry Olympics, Chemistry Olympics +, and Techdays). Nicole Ferreira (h-index=13; 367 citations) is the author of 25 scientific articles in international peer-reviewed journals, 5 of which she is the main author, and in 14 scientific communications (7 national and 7 international), 6 of which she is the main speaker.
