Isabel M. A. Fonseca completed an undergraduate degree in chemical engineering in 1980, a master’s in physical chemistry in 1984, and a doctorate in chemical engineering in the field of applied thermodynamics in 1991, all at the University of Coimbra. Fonseca has taught a wide variety of degree courses, both theoretical and practical, on Chemical Engineering, Industrial Chemistry, Materials Engineering and Environmental Engineering: Industrial Stoichiometry, Processes of Assessment and Simulation, Thermophysical Properties, Assessments of Materials and Energy, and Thermodynamics. She has also written various textbooks on these topics. Fonseca has coordinated and participated in numerous research projects on phase equilibrium (ELV and low temperatures and G/L solubility) and thermophysical properties, an area in which she has also directed post-graduate students. She has had more than forty articles published in scientific journals at home and abroad and has given many conference presentations. Between 1994 and 1997 she was a member of the Post-Graduate Study Commission of the Department of Chemical Engineering, and has coordinated PRODEQ II and II candidatures. She has also served as the vice-president of the Executive Commission of the Department of Chemistry, with special responsibility for finance.
