Domingos was born on Oct 1979 in Portugal. She had completed the degree in Chemistry in Dec 2001 at Univ. of Algarve, Portugal, and a PhD degree in Chemistry, specialty of Environmental Chemistry (Trace metal speciation using thin layer separation techniques and stripping chronopotentiometry) at the same university in Dec 2006. After her post-doctoral fellowship in Univ. of Montreal, Canada, where the Transport, fate and bioavailability of mineral-based nanoparticles under environmentally relevant conditions was evaluated, she joined the Instituto Superior Técnico (IST), Portugal, in 2009 as an auxiliary researcher. There she started and coordinated two new research lines, NanoMedia - Metallic nanoparticles in the environment, and BLMTagus - Development of tools for metal bioavailability quantification, both funded by the Portuguese Foundation for Science and Technology (FCT) in 2009. During this time she established her own group comprising 5 researchers including one post-doctoral fellow, and during which she supervised 2 master students, and four internships.
