Maria Eduarda Rocha Luiz

Maria Eduarda Rocha Luiz is a Research Fellow in the Chemistry Department at University of Aveiro, affiliated with Research Group G5 - Biomimetic, Biological and Living Materials. She works under the supervision of Syeda Mahwish Bakht and João Mano within the university's School of Science and Technology.

Her research focuses on biomimetic materials and acoustic manipulation techniques for cellular systems. Her work intersects chemistry, biophysics, and engineering disciplines, particularly examining how acoustic waves can organize liquid capsules containing biological cells. This research has potential applications in tissue engineering, drug delivery systems, and lab-on-a-chip technologies.

Rocha Luiz recently completed her doctoral thesis in 2024 titled "Wireless Organization of Liquid Capsules Containing Cells Through Acoustic Waves", which represents her primary scholarly contribution to date. Her research approach combines experimental physics with biological applications, focusing on non-invasive manipulation of cellular environments.

As a Research Fellow, she contributes to the university's materials science initiatives while developing expertise in biomimetic systems. Her work aligns with the department's focus on advanced materials research with biological applications.
