Vania Silverio is Senior Researcher at INESC MN, leading the Microfluidics Lab. She is currently involved in scientifically innovative and challenging problems combining nanotechnology with simulation tools for the design, fabrication, integration and test of Microfluidic Platforms, Lab-On-Chip and Organ-on-Chip. Dr Silverio is the Convenor of ISO/TC 48/WG 3 - Microfluidic Devices for the standardization of Microfluidics. Additionally, she has been nominated as Expert for the definition of Standards and Processes for Microfluidics [CEN/TC 332/WG 7] and for Organ-on-Chip [CEN/CENELEC FGOOC].
She authored several research publications in the areas of fluid dynamics at the microscale and microfluidics device fabrication. She combines her research with service providing and advanced training, teaching and theses supervision at the Master and PhD level at Instituto Superior Técnico, ULisboa (http://tecnico.ulisboa.pt), where she is an Invited Assistant Professor (Microfluidics course; Micro and Nanofabrication Techniques course).
Silverio is regular Peer Reviewer for Scientific Journals and is frequently involved in the organization of International Meetings on Microfluidics and Nanotechnology. She is member of the MFA (The Microfluidics Association), EUROoCS (European Organ-on-Chip Society), IEEE Society USA, EPS (European Physical Society), SPF (Portuguese Physical Society), and IOP (Institute of Physics).
Silverio holds a PhD degree in Mechanical Engineering (Tecnico, ULisboa) and a Licenciatura degree in Technological Chemistry (5 years, FCUL, ULisboa).
