Bio

Nélia Alberto graduated in Physics and Chemistry in 2005 and completed her PhD in 2011, from the University of Aveiro (Portugal). During the 2012-2017 period, she worked under a FCT post-doctoral research fellowship at the Instituto de Telecomunicações and the Centre for Mechanical Technology and Automation (Mechanical Engineering Department, University of Aveiro). In 2018 and under Decree No. 57/2016, she was hired as Researcher by the Instituto de Telecomunicações. From April 2023, she is an Assistant Researcher at the same institution (Stimulus of Scientific Employment Individual Support - 5th Edition).

Her research interests include the development of photonic-based solutions and their application, with a special focus on the biomedical context Dr. Alberto is author/ co-author of more than 120 peer-reviewed papers in journals and conferences, several book chapters, and co-editor of two books. She was listed in the top 2% of the most-cited scientists according to Stanford University and Elsevier rankings in the years 2020, 2022, 2023 and 2024. She participated as researcher in > 15 projects (FCT, AdI, P2020,...) and has been actively involved in other scientific activities, including reviewing for scientific journals, participation on the organizing of conferences and supervisions activities.

In 2011-2012, she was also devoted to teaching activities in CESPU - Escola Superior de Saúde do Vale do Sousa, and from 2020, she collaborates with the Physics Department (University of Aveiro) in teaching several curricular units.
