Filipe Alexandre Ferreira

Filipe Alexandre Ferreira is an Assistant Professor at the NOVA School of Science and Technology, NOVA University Lisbon. His research focuses on applying Mössbauer Spectroscopy, Electron Paramagnetic Resonance (EPR), and Density Functional Theory (DFT) to study proteins, particularly the chemical characteristics of iron active sites and enzymatic mechanisms. He holds a Ph.D. in Chemistry from Carnegie Mellon University (2006), an M.Sc. in Chemistry from the same institution (2004), and a Degree in Physical Engineering from NOVA University Lisbon (1994). His academic credentials also include Pedagogical Aptitude and Scientific Capacity Tests in Biophysics (2000).

His work integrates experimental and computational methods to elucidate biochemical processes, emphasizing interdisciplinary approaches between chemistry and biology. Contact him via fto@fct.unl.pt or at Cabinet 220, Building I – South Wing.
