Marta Costa Figueiredo studied chemistry at Porto University (Portugal) where she obtained her MSc degree in 2008. From 2009 to 2012, she moved to Spain for her PhD research in electrocatalysis for the reduction of nitrogen-containing compounds under the supervision of Prof. Juan Feliu. After finishing her PhD in 2012, Marta was a postdoctoral researcher at different Universities in Europe Aalto University (Finland), Leiden University, and the University of Copenhagen. From 2017 until 2019, Marta was a Jr Scientist at Avantium (Amsterdam) working on CO2 electrochemical conversion. In April 2019 she was appointed as assistant professor at TU/e. Her research is devoted to electrocatalysis and electro(catalytic)synthesis for sustainable processes and production of high value chemicals like fuels and organic molecules from “waste” substrates as for example, carbon dioxide and biomass. The main aim is to understand, develop and optimize electrochemical reactions and interfaces under practical relevant conditions in order to give a step further on the usage of electrochemistry at industrial scale.
