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.
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.
