Andreia Ruivo graduated in Chemistry and also obtained the master degree in Chemistry at the Faculty of Sciences of the University of Lisbon (FCUL). In 2013 she received her Ph.D. degree in Sustainable Chemistry with the thesis entitled “Synthesis and characterization of innovative luminescent glasses for artistic applications” in collaboration with the Photochemistry and Supramolecular Chemistry Research Group (Requimte) and Vicarte. Currently Andreia Ruivo is working on the development of new sustainable glass materials, as luminescent and coloured glasses using inexpensive and non-toxic raw materials, creating innovation in art and industry. As main methodologies used are standard synthetic methods, UV-Vis absorption spectroscopy, steady-state and time-resolved spectroscopy, dilatometry, X-Ray Fluorescence, differential scanning calorimetry and different microscopy techniques.
