Vanessa Cristina Diniz da Graça completed her PhD in Nanosciences and Nanotechnology in December 2022 at the University of Aveiro. Her research focused on materials for protonic ceramic fuel cells used in the electrochemical synthesis of ammonia.
Currently, she is a researcher at the TEMA (Centre for Mechanical Engineering) in the Department of Mechanical Engineering at the University of Aveiro, where she studies materials for the production of green hydrogen.
Vanessa has published 23 articles in peer-reviewed journals and 4 book chapters. In addition, she has attended and organized several conferences and public events. She has also completed 5 reviews for the Ceramics International journal and served as the main examiner for a PhD thesis.
