Short CV

Rui Novais is an Assistant Professor at the Department of Materials and Ceramic Engineering and CICECO-Aveiro Institute of Materials at University of Aveiro (UA).

He obtained his PhD in Polymer Science and Composites, in 2012 from the University of Minho; “Functionalized carbon nanotubes for polymer based nanocomposites”. Between 2012 and 2018 we had a postdoc position at UA working in the development of: - ceramic tiles for improving energy efficiency in buildings; - ceramic cookware compatible with induction cooking; - novel lightweight geopolymers for environmental remediation; - solar thermochemical production of hydrogen based on cork ecoceramics.

In September 2018 he was awarded a Junior researcher grant by FCT (Portuguese Foundation for Science and Technology) to develop with performance geopolymers for environmental remediation applications. Ranked 1/125 Environ Biotech Eng panel; 9/2227 in all panels; Final Score 9.9/10 (CEEC 2017).

In October 2020 he was awarded an Assistant Researcher grant by FCT. Ranked 3/59 Environ Biotech Eng panel; 28/1399 in all panels; Final Score 9.53/10 (CEEC 2019).

He has expertise in chemistry, physics, polymer and materials science, on the development and characterisation of low thermal conductivity materials (traditional ceramics and geopolymer-foams); on PCM-containing building materials for improving buildings thermal performance; wastes valorisation, synthesis of ecoceramics for energy production, and activated carbons.

He has published ca. 125 papers, 1020 of which are in JCR SCI journals, being 1st author of a review paper on geopolymer foams published in Progress in Materials Science (IF 40.0). He coauthored a recently launched book “Materiais e Sustentabilidade” (2024). His publications also include 9 book chapters, > 130 presentations (oral and poster) at international conferences. This body of work has garnered ca. 4250 citations and an h-index of 38 (SCOPUS).
