Nuna Costa joined the Integrated Master in Textile Engineering at the University of Minho in 2017 and is currently attending the last year of this course (predicted end date: 2022). Her interest in the topic of Smart and Interactive Textiles arose at an early stage of her academic training, throughout the development of innovative projects put forward by the curricular unit of Interdisciplinary Project. She became fascinated with all the possibilities of innovation in the textile/materials world, developing a very deep interest in the field of technical and interactive textiles that integrate subject areas such as electronics, biology, chemistry, and physics.
