Biography
N M Ferreira is a PhD in Physics Engineering; currently is a Researcher at i3N, Physics Department at University of Aveiro, Portugal. He had participated in several R&D projects on Material Science. He have experience as researcher in study and development of ceramics-based materials, prepared through conventional methods by melting, solid stated, with particular focus on laser processing (crystal growth – LFZ and surface sintering/modification). Present sample characterization skills include various techniques such as, electrical conductivity and magnetic properties of various oxide materials. Current focus materials are thermoelectrics, ferroelectrics and glass matrices doped with transition metals and rare earth for energy storage and conversion applications. Main expertise is related to structural, magnetic and electrical properties of materials prepared by laser processing.
