Biography
Eduarda Silva carried out her PhD studies, concerning the total synthesis of mycaperoxide B probing a biomimetic approach, under the guidance of Professor Laurence Harwood at University of Reading (UK). She finished her PhD degree in 2009 and joined the group of Professor Artur Silva as postdoctoral fellow at University of Aveiro. Her work is now concerned with catalysis, stereochemistry and the formation of carbon-carbon bonds by 1,6-conjugated addition. She is also interested in the identification and detailed structural information of new synthesized and bioactive compounds attained by mass spectrometry. She has published 20 papers in international peer review journals.
