معرفی
Vítor Félix is an Associate Professor with Aggregation at the University of Aveiro's Department of Chemistry. His academic career spans over three decades, with roles including Visiting Scientist at the University of Reading and collaborations with institutions like the University of Oxford and University of Southampton. His research focuses on supramolecular chemistry, molecular modeling, and anion recognition, leveraging computational tools like quantum calculations and molecular dynamics. Key projects include drug-biological target interactions, halogen bond investigations in interlocked systems, and anion transport mechanisms. His group, the Molecular Modelling Group, is part of the G6 (Virtual Materials and Artificial Intelligence) and L3 (Sustainability) research lines. Notable contributions include studies on halogen-bonding hosts for ion pairs and functionalized hydrogels for bioapplications. Collaborations span international networks in supramolecular chemistry and materials science.
Research highlights include experimental and computational studies on anion selectivity, redox-state receptors, and membrane transport systems. Recent work emphasizes drug-like Lego molecules for anion binding and cytotoxicity evaluation. His articles explore themes like chalcogen-bonding rotaxanes, hydrazones in transporters, and bioactive diselenides. Advising and grants are not explicitly detailed, but his work is supported by extensive international partnerships.
