Inês holds a MSc degree in Molecular and Microbial Biology where her thesis focused on optimising Emiliania huxleyi’s growth for production of novel compounds. Afterwards, she worked in the ALGAVALOR project, where she exploited the potential of isolated microalgae for agro-industrial wastewater treatment and in the ALGACYCLE project, using a circular economy approach for drainwater treatment.

She is currently a PhD student and her thesis is focused on the bioremediation of drainwater from hydroponic productions, using a microalgae-based approach, for sustainable products.
