Biography

Carla Queirós obtained her BSc. (2005) & MSc. (2008) in Chemistry at the Univ. of Porto (UP) and completed her PhD. in Sustainable Chemistry in 2018 (joint programme between UP, Nova Univ. of Lisbon and Univ. of Aveiro). 
Currently working as a project manager for the CROSSPATHS project – funded by European Union’s Horizon Europe Call “Pathways to Synergies: new projects bridging the gap between local and EU funding” - at the Centre for Biotechnology and Fine Chemistry (CBQF, Portuguese Catholic University - UCP, Porto). 

She is co-author of 31 articles, 2 conference papers, 3 book chapters and 3 national scientific periodicals. She was a supervisor & co-supervisor of 3 BSc students, has mentored 5 Chem. MSc students and 2 Sustainable Chemistry PhD students; among several undergraduate students.

From 2017-2018 she worked as a fellowship researcher at LAQV-FCUP in the MOFsENS project (M-ERA-NET/0005/2014) and from 2019-2021 she was a Contracted Researcher for X-Sensors project (PTDC/QUI-QOR/29426/2017). In 2022-2023, she was co-Principal Investigator (PI) of the project Plas2Nano (Plastics for nanomaterials: from waste bottles to MOF-based nanomaterials using sustainable approaches, EXPL/QUI-OUT/1554/2021). Also, in 2022 she was granted, as PI, a BRF (Portugal-UK Bilateral Research Fund) grant by PARSUK (Portuguese Association of Researchers and Students in the UK) in which she collaborated and did an internship at John Moores University in Liverpool (UK) with Dr. Francesca Giuntini. In 2024 she worked as a contracted researcher for STARGATE project at UCP, Porto. 
In 2023, she completed a Post-Graduation in Management of Development Cooperation Projects at the Portuguese Catholic University (UCP-Porto).
