Teaching
From 2005 to present, Fátima Miller has been an Invited Assistant Professor at Faculty of Biotechnology of the Catholic University of Porto, where she teaches Biology I and Biology II to undergraduate students.
In 2022, she was also invited to teach Advanced Food Technology and Homogenization, two disciplines of the Master in Food Engineering curriculum.
Professional Information
Fátima A. Miller graduated in Microbiology from Universidade Católica Portuguesa - Escola Superior de Biotecnologia, Porto in 2001. In that year, she became a researcher on CBQF - Centro de Biotecnologia e Química Fina, working in a FP5 project.
At the end of 2003, Fátima A. Miller won a FCT doctoral fellowship to study the impact of different thermal treatments on microbial inactivation kinetics, obtaining a Ph.D. degree in Biotechnology with specialization in food microbiology, in 2009. When she finished her Ph.D. degree, she was hired to assist in the coordination and support activities of a FP7 project, which allowed her administrative experience and the development of excellent communication skills.
In 2010, she had received funding from FCT for a Post-doctoral fellowship that aimed to use mild non-thermal processes to produce fruit products with high quality and safety standards. Since then, her research interests and expertise revolve around the optimization of food processes, approaching the quality and safety characteristics of fruit products.
In 2016, when she finished her post-doctoral program, she worked for 9 months in an international project (FooD-STA), where she worked in science and technology management by developing a digital library that offers a collection of online training and education digital materials for the food sector.
Fátima A. Miller is, since December of 2018, a contracted researcher of CBQF - Centro de Biotecnologia e Química Fina, under the transitional norm, DL/57.
