Biography
Pedro Alpuim is group leader in 2D Materials and Devices at INL. He received a PhD degree in Materials Engineering from IST Lisbon in 2003, working in amorphous silicon thin film technology for flexible electronics, and a Master degree in Physics from the UM in 1995. He installed a thin-film laboratory at UM where he focused on fabrication of thin-film silicon solar cells, piezoresistive sensor arrays for health care, and thermoelectric junctions of telluride compounds for micro-cooling and energy scavenging. He published more than 70 papers in peer-reviewed journals and has h-index=19.
Research Interest
He works on CVD and 2D materials device fabrication, with emphasis in biosensors. Graphene devices, in particular, are developed to detect biomarkers in several areas of medicine and for environmental monitoring.
