Our research group aims to forge new pathways in materials discovery. Our passion lies in the realm of virtual materials, where cutting-edge computational methodologies intersect with materials science to uncover groundbreaking discoveries. We specialize in deciphering the intricacies of a large spectrum of materials, from zero- to three-dimensional structures, including supramolecular systems, renewable-based polymers, metal- and covalent- organic frameworks, silicas and organosilicas, zeolites, MXenes, carbons, conductive proteins, and beyond. At the core of our pursuits lies the fusion of artificial intelligence and multiscale modelling, enabling us to investigate either classic or unexplored materials for multiple applications. We employ advanced algorithms and simulation techniques to establish vital connections between the structure and properties of materials, ultimately allowing us to interpret or predict the behavior of materials.

ABSolEU: closing the loop on ABS plastics recycling (ABSolEU)
European ComissionPartner
At least 85% of end-of-life ABS plastic, found in durable products ranging from toys to automotive components and daily-use items such as shavers, ends up in landfills or being incinerated. The ABSolEU project aims to develop and matur...Ativação metabólica da diferenciação 3D de células estaminais em tecido ósseo (BetterBone)
Fundação para a Ciência e a TecnologiaCoordinator
Estratégias que envolvam a diferenciação osteogénica de células estaminais mesenquimais (MSCs) representam ferramentas promissoras na medicina regenerativa, tanto através da promoção da regeneração in situ, como da implanta&...Engineered Conductive Proteins for Bioelectronics (E-PROT)
European ComissionPartner
Proteins demonstrate exceptional structural and electrical conduction properties for designing functional materials. The goal of the EU-funded e-Prot project is to rationally design efficient conductive protein systems and produce protein-based conductive structures and materials. This breakthrough relies on a multidisciplinary scientific approa...FantastiCOF: Fabricating and Implementing Exotic Moiré Materials from Covalent Organic Frameworks (FantastiCOF)
