Biography
Imen Hammami is a Physics Engineering PhD researcher at Aveiro University under the supervision of Prof. M.P.F. Graca. She has a master's degree in Condensed Matter. She has been dedicating to the synthesis and characterization of glass, glass ceramics and polymer composites. She is currently working as a Research Fellow at i3N-Aveiro, within the P2020 project, called ORAiDEA, “Development of Multifunctional Dental Implants”, funded by the European Regional Development Fund (ERDF) through the Competitiveness and Internationalization Operational Program (POCI). In this position, she is expanding her knowledge on the development of biomaterials capable of supporting the osteogenic differentiation of Mesenchymal Stromal (Stem) Cells (MSCs) with potential tissue engineering applications and their full characterization at a physical, chemical and biological level to the development of essential coatings for the implants.
