Marta Cristina Parracho Cançado Corvo

Marta C. Corvo is a senior researcher with a PhD in Chemistry, specialized in Organic Chemistry since 2003. As a post-doctoral fellow, she focused on ionic liquids for CO 2 capture and Nuclear Magnetic Resonance (NMR). In 2015 she joined CENIMAT and the Soft and Biofunctional Materials Group in the NMR lab. During the last years, she published work on ionic liquid derived materials and NMR, and supervised one PhD, one postdoc and several master theses students. Currently supervising 3 PhD students, she participated in several national and international projects, and is currently the PI of project GREENPILs4CO 2 (PTDC/QUI-QFI/31508/2017).
