I am studying the structure of the various conformers of molecular motors and switches by analysing the spectra of these resulting from microwave rotational spectroscopy. PhD(c) in Physics, FCT Scholarship Holder since 01/01/2024, Thesis project: Structure and Dynamics of Highly Functional Molecules: A Rotational Strategy (Ref. 2023.00840.BD), Supervisor: Sérgio Domingos
