Marta Costa FigueiredoDr. Figueiredo is an assistant professor in electrochemistry at the TU/e where her research is devoted to electrocatalysis and electro(catalytic)synthesis for sustainable processes and production of high value chemicals like fuels and organic moleculs from "waste" substrates as for example, carbon dioxide and biomass. The principle aim of her group's R&D is to understand, develop and optimise electrochemical reactions under practical relevant conditions in order to give a step further on the usage of electrochemistry at industrial scale. Dr. Figueiredo studied chemistry at Porto University (Portugal) where she obtained her MSc degree in 2008. From 2009 to 2012, she completed her PhD in electrocatalysis (topic: reduction of nitrogen containing compounds) under the supervision of Prof. J. Feliu. Following postdoctoral positions at different Universities (Kallio Group, Aalto University (FIN); Koper Group, Leiden University (NL); Rosmeisl and Escribano Groups, University of Copenhagen (DK)), Prof. Figueiredo worked as a Jr Scientist at Avantium (Amsterdam, NL) on CO2 electrochemical conversion. Since April 2019 she has held the position of assistant professor at the Inorganic Materials Chemistry research group at TU/e. Read More Read Less
