My name is Catarina Alves, and I am originally from Porto, Portugal. In Portugal, I have completed my PhD in Chemical Engineering (November 2025) at the Materials Engineering & Energy group, Centro de Química Estrutural at Instituto Superior Técnico in Lisbon, under the supervision of Professor Fátima Montemor and Professor Jorge Correia. Motivated by the urgent need to accelerate the energy transition to more sustainable technologies, my doctoral research addressed challenges in energy storage, focusing on self-protective manganese dioxide electrodes to improve durability under charge/discharge cycling.
