Carbon Dots Nanoparticles as a New Gate for Sensing
Dr. Manual Algarra completed his studies in analytical chemistry and earned his PhD from the University of Málaga (Spain) in 2000. He conducted his postdoctoral studies at the University of Porto in Portugal and Tsukuba in Japan. He received a Senior Research post (2008-2013) through the Science Program at the University of Porto. He then returned to the University of Málaga to continue his work on carbon nanoparticles, which are applied in many fields of application today, including imaging, medication delivery, and sensing. He has held a permanent position at the Public University of Navarre (Pamplona, Spain) since 2021 in the Institute for Research in Advanced Materials and Mathematics (INAMAT2). He is the principal investigator of a national project using carbon nanoparticles and has authored 170 papers.

Titanium dioxide – carbon dot nanocomposites for the sunlight – driven photodegradation of organic pollutants
Ricardo Sendão is a PhD student currently enrolled in the Chemistry Doctoral Programme in the Faculty of Sciences of the University of Porto (FCUP). His training in Biochemistry was also completed at FCUP, where he obtained his BSc and MSc degrees. He was a researcher at LCR Hallcrest (UK) within the scope of CHARISMA, an EU-funded project created under the framework of the Marie Sklodowska-Curie Actions. His research focuses include carbon dots, photocatalysis, wastewater treatment, and life cycle assessment.
