Nuno Silva is an accomplished physicist working among chemists with a strong research profile in magnetic nanoparticles, nanothermometers and hyperthermia. He obtained his degree in physics from the School of Sciences at the University of Porto, Portugal (1999), and his M.S. degree in Materials Sciences and Engineering from the University of Aveiro (2003). He performed research on magnetic nanoparticles towards his Ph.D. in Physics at University of Aveiro and received his degree in 2006. He then earned a Spanish Research Council Grant to develop magnetic nanoparticles for biomedical applications at the University of Zaragoza, Spain. In May 2009 Nuno decided to join CICECO at the University of Aveiro, after earning a Ciencia2008 Grant from the Portuguese Science Foundation. He gained international recognition in the field by measuring for the first time temperature at the surface of magnetic nanoparticles used as local heaters (Adv. Mater. 2010 and ACS Nano 2015), receiving an Award for encouragement of Research by The Materials Research Society of Japan in 2014. Nuno Silva has continuously made significant contributions to his field and has an outstanding track record in obtaining external funding through the national research funder FCT. Presently, he leads a group devoted to the development of magnetic nanoparticles applied to nanosensing.
Nuno co-authors 3 book chapters, 2 international patents and about 75 papers (> 2400 times cited without self-citations; h=24, ISI).
In 2001, Nuno concluded Piano and Composition studies at the Music Conservatoire of Porto.
