Andre Pereira holds a PhD in Physics since 2010, with Pos-doc at ORNL (USA) and ICL (UK). In the last 5 years has directed his research focused on the area of flexible Energy Devices (plastics or textiles). The research Energy areas are energy harvesting (thermoelectric and triboelectrics) and in its storage using supercapacitors. Moreover, continues working on magnetism and quantum physics particularly in materials with strong correlation between spin and lattice, magnetic nanoparticles (Bioengineering), magnetostrictive materials (Industrial project) and more recently in topological systems in the area of quantum physics. Founder of a spin-off at the University of Porto (inanoEnergy) and co-founder of a start-up project (WeStoreOnTEX).
