Sonia Santos, born in 1983 (Aveiro, Portugal), graduated in Chemical Engineering in 2006 at the Nova University of Lisbon (FCT-UNL, Portugal). In the same year, she spent 6 months in a training period at Eindhoven University of Technology (TU/e Netherlands) working on the recovery and regeneration of thermo-reversible ion exchanger surfactants. In 2012, she obtained a Ph.D. in Chemistry at the University of Aveiro (UA, Portugal) on the topic "Characterization of phenolic fraction of forest industrial by-products". From May 2013 to August 2017, she was a postdoctoral researcher at the Associate Laboratory CICECO working on the bioprospection of health-promoting components from Portuguese coast macroalgae. In September 2017, she started a position as a Researcher at CICECO. Sonia's research interests involve the detailed characterization of natural compounds, their extraction, purification, and valorization to high-value applications. She has special interests in the development of novel extraction methodologies, namely green extraction and fractionation methods.
