Biography
Célia is a PhD student in the Flow Assurance ad Scale Team (FAST) at the Institute of GeoEnergy Engineering at Heriot-Watt University, specializing in inorganic scale formation and inhibitor mechanisms, along with polymer interactions and long-term kinetics. She previously worked as a researcher focused on the study of micro and nanoparticle dispersions for EOR and the release of chemicals with a particular focus on microcapsules production for targeted chemical delivery at LMMP, PUC-Rio University. She holds a BSc in Biochemistry from Coimbra University and an MSc in Petroleum Engineering from Instituto Superior Técnico Lisbon.
