I recently completed my MSc in Materials Engineering at Instituto Superior Técnico, University of Lisbon, in December 2022. During my time at IST, I was able to pursue studies in a variety of fields, as my BSc and MSc programmes encompass many chemical and mechanical engineering classes in addition to courses in every class of materials. Moreover, I wrote my master thesis about “Synthesis and characterization of Gallium-based materials for catalytic applications”, where I exceeded with a grade of 19/20.I have just finished an internship at E-REDES in the Sustainability Department, where I was actively involved in creating and implementing a Circular Economy plan. This opportunity has broadened my understanding of sustainable practices and reaffirmed my commitment to bring positive change in the energy sector. I have gained valuable experience in developing strategies and initiatives that promote a more circular approach to resource management.
