Biography

The main research interests of Dr. Cleis Santos are the water-energy nexus challenge, electrochemical engineering and material science, bearing in mind the importance of sustainability, implementation and application in the industry. She has been working in electrochemical desalination devices and the selective recovery of lithium. For the last 8 years, she has been upgrading scientific skills in multidisciplinary innovative research areas (leading to several scientific publications including a patent, two book chapters and two projects as Principal Investigator), a strong capacity for teamwork in academia and industrial international collaborations. She has published a total of 15 papers in scientific peer-reviewed international journals (including 3 reviews), 8 of them in journals with impact factor above 8. The papers have received a total number of citations to date equal to 441 and she has reached an h-index equal to 10.
In summary, she has developed a scientific career based on independence resolutions and leadership capability: in just 2 years after defending her PhD thesis, with less than 30 years old, she has obtained international recognition in the scientific community with an Individual Fellowship Marie Skłodowska-Curie actions and she has obtained her first projects as Principal Investigator.
