Diana Catarino Viegas

I’m an Applied Physics PhD with strong analytical capacity and experienced with complex and research-related problem solving. Also I was in the Industry for four years which confer me know-how in some industrial processes and research & development in an industrial context, and also in a technological centre that improve my skills on project management and application for funding. After finishing my post-graduate studies, I’ve enrol a company related with automotive industry, as process engineering and afterwards as head of quality laboratory, under the supervision of the Quality director, managing a team of six people. My post-graduate studies are an added value for a fast knowledge acquisition and adaptability and flexibility face to new issues and challenges. After my experience in industry I was awarded with a Marie Curie CoFund Fellowship at International Iberian Nanotechnology Laboratory – INL. As a fellow I have a specific scientific project assigned although, my function at INL and also as a former researcher of INESC TEC, is getting funds through project applications (national and European project). Due to that function, I have also develop a close connection with industry aiming at technology transfer. I'm presently at INESC TEC as science manager and project manager of European and national projects.
