Meet Our Speakers
Dr. Manuel Algarra
Institute for Advanced Materials and Mathematics (INAMAT2), Public University of Navarre, Spain.;
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.
Mr. Ricardo Sendão
Chemistry Research Unit (CIQUP), Institute of Molecular Sciences (IMS), Department of Geosciences, Environment and Territorial Planning, Faculty of Sciences of University of Porto (FCUP), Portugal.;
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.
