CO-CHAIRS

	Diana Guimarães INESC TEC Portugal
Brief Bio Diana Guimarães received a PhD in Atomic Physics from the Faculty of Sciences, New University of Lisbon in 2011. After her PhD, she worked for 5 years in the NY State Department of Health as head of the X-ray lab for screening heavy metals on consumer products and working on several bio-monitoring projects. Currently at the applied photonics center at INESC TEC, since 2016, she started off developing optic fiber sensors for radon detection but is now working closely with the marine, mining, cork, glass, and wood industries developing spectral solutions for element detection using Laser-induced breakdown spectroscopy (LIBS). She has more than 15 years of experience in spectroscopy and spectrometry techniques such as X-ray fluorescence, LIBS, atomic absorption, ICP-MS, ICP-OES, synchrotron-based techniques, and Raman.

	Sofia Pessanha NOVA School of Science and Tecnology Portugal
Brief Bio Sofia Pessanha, Assistant Researcher at NOVA School of Sciences and Technology since 2020, coordinates the Analytical Techniques Development and Applications research at LIBPhys. With a PhD in Physics from the University of Lisbon (2013), she is an expert in X-Ray Fluorescence and Raman spectroscopy, focusing on portable instrumentation. Her work includes cancer and Parkinson's biomarker detection, dental diagnostics, and environmental exposure research. A member of the X-Ray Spectrometry journal's advisory board, she has co-authored over 100 publications, organized key scientific events, and supervises multiple PhD and master's theses.

	Pedro Jorge FCUP / INESC TEC Portugal
Brief Bio Pedro Jorge is a PhD in Physics (2006 Porto University). He has been working on photonics technologies for biochemical sensing since 2007 at INESC TEC's Centre for Applied Photonics. He coordinated the Biochemical Sensor area, focusing on innovative optical sensor solutions for environmental, biomedical, and industrial applications, with over 100 publications and several patents in the field. Photonics technologies such as optical fiber sensors, interferometry, fluorescence spectroscopy, optical trapping and Laser Induced Breakdown spectroscopy are being explored in a diversity of applications ranging from systems for real-time evaluation of minerals in underwater mining, to the determination of dCO2 in Aquaculture tanks, or manipulation and diagnostic of single cells.
