Apart from teaching fundamental chemistry and industrial safety her goals have been challenge student´s interest on science, research and innovation. As a researcher she focused on the search for new coordination compounds based on transition metals and study of their analytical, spectroscopic and redox properties aiming at applications as biological active agents or as catalysts in organic synthetic processes. More recently she centered her interests on the search for bioactive materials based on bioactive complexes. Meanwhile MFNN Carvalho published ca. 100 papers and supervised ca. 10 thesis (master plus PhD).
