I have a PhD in Chemical Engineering, graduated from University of Newcastle upon-Tyne, UK, from the same university, have completed the master’s degree in Sustainable Chemical Engineering (2004), consequently I obtained my multidisciplinary Doctorate covering the areas of Chemical Engineering and Biotechnology, thesis defended on 25th of November of 2008, graduation ceremony took place on February de 5th of 2009. I recognize myself, a highly motivated individuality, with a full and multifaceted academic performance. My research areas include: (Chemical Engineering, Process Intensification, Chemistry; Polymerization and Catalysis, Materials Science, Microbiology, Molecular Biology and Renewable Energies). I am extremely disciplined and committed to the search for opportunities for self-development. I have excellent scientific and technical skills, with good skills of communication, teamwork, observation; consistently using a methodical approach to problem solving.
I am currently an Associate professor in the DEPARTMENT OF ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY (DET) at the HIGHER POLYTECHNIC INSTITUTE OF TECHNOLOGIES AND SCIENCES (ISPTEC), Luanda Angola, since 2020.
