Maria José Calhorda received her PhD from Instituto Superior Técnico, Lisbon, Portugal (1980) working on synthetic organometallic chemistry, and moved on to one year as a post-doc in at the Inorganic Chemistry Laboratory, Oxford, UK, with D. M. P. Mingos doing extended Huckel calculations on organometallic complexes. She spent one year at Cornell University, USA, with R. Hoffmann performing band calculations on solids and surfaces (1987/88), eight months in 1995 at the MPI für Festkörperforschung, Stuttgart, Germany, with A. Simon, doing solid state synthesis, and four months at the University of Marburg, Germany, with G. Frenking, dedicated to ab initio calculations. These, as well as shorter visits to many other groups, contributed to develop a wide range of scientific interests, dealing essentially with the computational study of electronic structure and reactivity of inorganic/organometallic systems, and a more recent one in the design of homogeneous and heterogeneous catalysts. She is Professor of Inorganic Chemistry at the University of Lisbon, since 1996, and has (co)authored about 200 scientific publications.
