Eduardo j. m. filipe

Eduardo Filipe teaches Chemical Thermodynamics and Molecular Simulations at the Chemical Engineering Department, Instituto Superior Técnico (University of Lisbon, Portugal). He started as an experimentalist and got a PhD in cryogenic fluids (Jorge Calado, supervisor), but later learned about the SAFT EOS with George Jackson.

He was always fascinated by supramolecular organization and self-assembly.

His research interests currently focus on the organization and stability of highly structured fluids (e.g. mixtures of perfluorinated and hydrogenated fluids, ionic liquid crystals, compartmentalized nano aggregates) and their potential use in the biomedical field (respiratory emulsions and drug delivery) and environmental applications (CO2 capture, pollutants remediation, asphaltene stabilization, etc).

He likes to think that he is still an experimentalist (his group still measures equilibrium, surface and transport properties of fluids) but a large part of his research work is now computational.
