PhD (2009), MSc (2004) and Diploma Engineer (2001) in Mechanical Engineering in Instituto Superior Técnico, Technical University of Lisbon Ana Moita is an Assistant Professor at Instituto Superior Técnico, Universidade de Lisboa, a senior researcher in IN+, Center for Innovation, Technology and Policy Research/Instituto Superior Técnico and Director of the Laboratory of Thermofluids, Combustion and Energy Systems of this research center. A.S. Moita developed a strong background in wettability modification strategies, including micro-and-nanostructuring techniques applied to surface modification. In the last years, she has deepened these activities for microscale applications, towards devising microfluidic devices for thermal (energy conversion) and biomedical applications. PI/co-Pi of several national and international projects. Currently she has several projects in collaboration with the industry including a large project with UFRJ - Brasil and Petrobrás, towards the development of a microchannel based heat sink to cool high concentration photovoltaic panels. Through her work and scientific recognition, she gained support from a strong national and international network.
