Filipa graduated in Chemistry in 2000 at Universidade de Aveiro. In 2003 she completed a master in Ciência e Engenharia de Materiais at the same University, "Novos sistemas luminescentes de polioxometalatos contendo lantanídeos". Following her interest on polyoxometalate chemistry, in 2004 she moved to Germany to obtain a Ph.D degree in the  group of Prof. Dr. Achim Muller, "Construction of new polyoxomolybdate architectures", February 2010. During the Ph.D period, she participated in one European Project, one 1 project with industry and 2 projects financed by the German Research Foundation (DFG).

Filipa then decided to develop her career in Portugal, she moved to CICECO as a post‐doc investigating the use of magnetic and optically active microcapsules for the release of active materials (supervisor Prof. Tito Trindade). Since January 2017 she is Research Assistant at the CICECO and Chemistry Department of the University of Aveiro. Her main scientific interests are centered on the development of microcapsules and polyoxometalate hybrid materials for advanced magnetic and thermal applications. She published 1 international book chapter and 23 peer-reviewed papers in international journals, summing 371 citations without self-citations and an h-index of 11.
