Bio
Ana Mestre was born in Lisbon in 1980, received her degree in Chemistry (2003) from the Faculty of Sciences of Lisbon University (FCUL) and completed her PhD in Technological Chemistry in 2010 from the same institution (mother of twins in 2009). ASM was a post-doc researcher: QREN project (2010-2012) & FCT (2013-2019/04, FCUL&FCUP), and since May 2019 she is an Assistant Researcher at FCUL.
Between 2010 and 2012 Ana Mestre was a post-doc researcher in a QREN project (consortium FCUL, INSA, UMinho and coordinated by a Portuguese Industry (Corticeira Amorim)). The production process of cork-derived activated carbons developed by Ana Mestre was protected by a Portuguese Patent, and the results were published and orally presented in the Word Carbon Conference (Brazil). In 2013 Ana Mestre started a post-doc grant (FCT) in a collaboration between Catalysis & Functional and Smart Materials Group from REQUIMTE (FCUP) and Adsorption and Adsorbent Materials Group from CQB (FCUL). Her research interests have been focused on new carbon materials and advanced methodologies for emergent contaminants removal from water, and has developed also some work regarding the use of porous carbon materials in gas phase processes as is the case of methane storage and biogas upgrade. In the recent position as Assistant Researcher ASM aims to develop engineered photocatalytic carbon-based materials for advanced water treatment by hybrid membrane systems.
Ana Mestre has 35 (5 as corresponding author) publications in international indexed peer-reviewed journals with and H factor of 19 (1140 citations by 709 documents), 3 book chapters, 1 portuguese patent, 33 extended abstracts in international conference proceedings, 3 invited keynotes, 36 oral communications and 94 posters. Ana Mestre has supervised several undergraduate/graduate students, was in the jury 3 MSc and 2 PhD Thesis (arguer) and participated in 3 R&D projects and 2 transnational actions. ASM was invited to share her work in pharmaceuticals removal in a symposium in Orleans (CNRS, FR2016), was member of several FCT projects. At the present she is a member of a project of the Life Program (EU funding) entitled “Improving current barriers for controlling pharmaceutical compounds in urban wastewater treatment plants” and coordinated by Maria João Rosa from Nacional Laboratory of Civil Engineering (LNEC).
In 2016 ASM was invited to be co-editor of a number of the Spanish Carbon Group (GEC) journal, and in 2018 was invited to be guest editor of a special issue in C – Journal of the Carbon Research. In 2018 ASM was member of the organizing & scientific committees of the Iberian Adsorption Meeting & IberoAmerican Symposium in Adsorption that was held in Gijón (ES) in Sept2018. She served as a reviewer for 89 papers in 26 journals, including top-ranked journals in her expertise area (e.g. JMaterChemA, Carbon & ChemEngJ). She was member of the examiner committee in 2 PhD (ES2016 & PT2018) and 3 MSc (PT2011, 2013 & 2017) thesis. ASM successfully completed the supervision of 2 MSc thesis & 1 final project of graduation, and the co-supervision of 1 post-doc, 2 MSc thesis, 4 research training projects & 13 short-term trainees. Currently ASM is (co-)supervising 3 research training projects. Between 2014 and 2018, she has also been teaching Chemistry lab & exercises classes to 1st and 2nd year students of the Life Sciences Graduation (FCUL).
In 2015 ASM took part in the COHiTEC program within the InovCarbon team “Innovative manufacture of activated carbons using biomass residues” selected by PT & US jury to an intensive training in technology commercialization. This project was presented and defended by ASM in the ScienceIN2Business 2016 edition and won the first prize. Recently ASM along with 4 colleagues from FCUL and LNEC won the Wex 2019 Global Award for “Innovation in Technology” for the environmental-friendly production of novel activated carbons from pine nut residues and their application for enhanced removal of pharmaceutical compounds in urban wastewater treatment plants, developed within LIFE Impetus project. The prize was awarded by an international, cross-sector panel of experts in the water and energy sectors during the WEX Global 2019 - Applying Intelligence to the Circular Economy in Water & Energy conference, held in Gaia, Portugal, last 4-6 March. This key, prestigious award, assigned to recent water projects with a circular economy component, recognizes outstanding usage, manufacture or production of innovative products, materials or technologies which are providing substantial benefits to the world’s water needs.
