Rosemere de Araujo Alves Lima
Postdoc Researcher
I am an MSCA postdoctoral researcher working on toughening and self-sensing strategies for smart, reversible adhesive joints. My research combines 3D printing, structural health monitoring, and multifunctional materials to enable the development of next-generation circular adhesively bonded composite structures.
