Filipa Ribeiro was graduated in Chemical Engineering at IST. She got the MSc degree in Chemistry of Catalytic Processes and then she integrated the Zeolites Group created by F. Ramôa Ribeiro. Her PhD was developed in cooperation with IFP Energies Nouvelles, France working with zeolite catalysts. She got the aggregation (Habilitation) in Chemical Engineering (IST) in 2007.
Her research interests are in heterogeneous catalysis, especially using zeolite based catalysts. She has been involved in the development of acid and bifunctional catalysts for the transformation of different hydrocarbons used as model reactants for oil refining processes or for biomass valorization and co-processing.
She has been developing research in the field of CO2 capture with adsorbents and valorization of CO2 as feedstock for fuels and chemicals as well as in the field of environmental catalysis for the purification of waste gases (NOx and VOCs). Currently, she is also developing photocatalytic processes.
She has coordinated and participated in national and international R&D Projects involving academia and in collaboration with companies. In 2022 she was distinguished with the Prize a la Trayectoria Científica awarded by FISOCAT (Federação das Sociedades IberoAmericanas de Catálise).
