Maria Simone Soares

Currently I’m enrolled in the Doctoral Programme in Physics Engineering at the University of Aveiro, in which I started working in the field of optical sensors for application in the Aquaculture sector, namely for the detection of cortisol (stress hormone), bacteria and sub-micro/nano-plastics in the water of fish tanks. My research interests are in the field of biophotonics, nanomaterials science for sensing, electrochemical sensors, and data processing.
