PrintTeresa Brandão graduated in Chemical Engineering from Faculty of Engineering / University of Porto in 1990. She completed the curricular part of the Master in Food Science and Technology at ESB-UCP, in 1992. She obtained the Ph.D. degree in Biotechnology with specialization in Food Science and Engineering at ESB-UCP, in 2004. During her Ph.D. programme, she attained post-graduate courses in data analysis and experimental design at University of California, Davis, USA.
Her research interests focus on food thermal and mild non-thermal processes, approaching quality and safety characteristics and exploitation of bioactive and nutritive compounds from waste parts of fruits, seeking development of new strategies for adding value to fruit wastes. Currently she is a researcher at CBQF.
She started teaching at ESB-UCP in 1991 and is now an Invited Assistant Professor covering a wide range of engineering disciplines: Biostatistics, Physics, Thermodynamics and Mathematical Analysis are her current main commitments.
