Helena Passos obtained her MSc degree in Chemical Engineering from the University of Aveiro in 2012. After being awarded with a Fundação para a Ciência e Tecnologia (FCT) PhD scholarship, in June of 2017, she completed a European PhD in Chemical Engineering at the University of Aveiro, having during her PhD studies trainees at Technical University of Dortmund, Germany and Tokyo University of Agriculture and Technology, Japan. From July of 2017 to July of 2018, H. Passos was a post-doctoral researcher involved in an international ERA-MIN project concerning the recovery of cobalt and REE from NiMH batteries recycling at CICECO – Aveiro Institute of Materials, University of Aveiro, under the supervision of Prof. Dr. Joćo A. P. Coutinho and in a straight collaboration with the research institute Laboratoire d'Electrochimie et de Physico-chimie des Matériaux et des Interfaces (LEPMI), Grenoble, France. Currently, H. Passos is involved in a European Research Council (ERC) Grant focused on the use of aqueous biphasic systems for the purification of egg yolk antibodies as alternative biopharmaceuticals at CICECO – Aveiro Institute of Materials, University of Aveiro, under the supervision of Dr. Mara G. Freire. Since 2012, Passos published 27 articles in international peer reviewed multidisciplinary high impact journals (ISI, h-index 12), and presented several oral and poster communications in national and international conferences.
