Ana Sofia Oliveira Henriques MoitaDiploma Engineer in Mechanical Engineering in 2001, MSc in Mechanical Engineering Energy in 2004 and PhD in Mechanical Engineering in 2009, Ana Moita is an assistant professor in the Portuguese Military Academy, where she is the chair of Fluid Dynamis and Thermodynamics, and a researcher in IN+, Instituto Superior Técnico, Universidade de Lisboa. A.S. Moita developed a strong background in wettability modification strategies, including micro-and-nanostructuring techniques applied to surface modification. In the last years, she has deepened these activities for microscale applications, towards devising microfluidic devices for thermal (energy conversion) and biomedical applications. PI/co-Pi of several national and international projects she is the leading researcher at the Laboratory of Interfacial plus Microscale Phenomena in IN+, Instituto Superior Técnico, since 2014. Currently she has several projects in collaboration with the industry including a large project with UFRJ - Brasil and Petrobrás, towards the development of a microchannel based heat sink to cool high concentration photovoltaic pannels. Ana Moita has been an invited lecturer for seminars in several international and national universities, including in Faculdade de Engenharia de São Carlos, Universidade de S. Paulo, Brazil.
