António T. Vicente holds a B. Sc. and M. Sc. in Biomedical Engineering from NOVA School of Science and Technology. He went on to pursue a Ph.D. degree from the joint program of MIT and the top 4 Portuguese Universities. In 2017, he received his doctorate at CENIMAT i3N for his work on silicon thin film solar cells on paper-based substrates with applications in optoelectronic biodevices. His doctoral work led to the first reported fabrication of silicon thin film solar cells on common paper-based products, which opened new avenues in this field towards intelligent and sustainable biodevices and received two national awards. 

He is now working as a Research Assistant at FCT-NOVA on inexpensive optically variable inks based on dielectric materials, power electronics, and novel perovskite solar cell applications. He is an author in more than 20 peer-reviewed publications and two book chapters.
Outside the lab, you can find him rock climbing, backpacking, sketching, or playing boardgames.
