Miriam Rabaçal is a Post-Doc researcher at Instituto Superior Técnico (IST), Lisboa, Portugal, and was a collaborator of the IDMEC/IST research institute from 2010 until she became an integrated member in 2016. She received a M.Sc. degree in Mechanical Engineering from IST in 2010. During her master thesis project, she held an Initiation to Research grant while working on small-scale biomass pellets combustion. After a four months' internship in Karunya University, Coimbatore, India, she returned to IST to pursue her PhD studies supported a FCT PhD grant on Large Eddy Simulations of coal and biomass combustion. During her PhD studies, she spent six months in Imperial College London, 18 months in Duisburg Essen University and three months in TUB Freiberg for collaborative research on her PhD topic. She received her PhD degree in Mechanical Engineering in 2016. She participated in more than five international and national research projects in the areas of High Performance Computing, Combustion and Energy. She has nine papers in international peer-reviewed journals, one book chpater and 24 communications in international scientific meetings.
