About Alexandre
I help teams turn complex R&D ideas into manufacturable, testable solutions. I’m a biomedical engineer and nanotechnology innovator specialized in microfluidics, biosensors, and micro/nanofabrication, with proven IP output and strong experimental design skills.
I’m at my best when the problem is ambiguous and high-stakes: you need someone who can think creatively, map the state of the art fast, spot weak assumptions early, and propose multiple viable technical routes. I combine deep materials knowledge with practical engineering, so the result is not “research for research”, but a clear plan that can be built and validated.
Typical deliverables include:
•Feasibility studies and innovation sprints (concept generation, trade-offs, risk register)
•Technical literature reviews with clear recommendations and novelty landscaping
•Microfluidic architecture design and lab-on-chip concepts, including design-for-fabrication guidance
•Nanofabrication process design and materials/coating strategy
•Experimental plans, validation protocols, and troubleshooting of challenging measurement workflows
If you need an expert who can bridge science and engineering and move fast from idea to execution, I’m a strong fit.

Experience
- Humboldt-Universität zu BerlinPostdoctoral FellowshipNANO-TECHNOLOGYOctober 2023 - Today (2 years and 8 months)Berlin, GermanyMSCA Postdoctoral Fellowship Developing technology for early Breast Cancer diagnosis using surface enhanced Raman scattering (SERS) substrates.Lead the development of scalable SERS nanostructures using EBL, including cleanroom process optimization and post-fabrication functionalization. The position focused on advanced research in nanotechnology in SERS substrates for innovative diagnostic methods in breast cancer. Responsibilities include the nanofabrication of metamaterials for enhanced spectroscopic analysis, leading project initiatives, and contributing to scientific advancements in a startup environment.
- INL - International Iberian Nanotechnology LaboratoryPostdoctoral Research FellowNANO-TECHNOLOGYSeptember 2021 - September 2023 (2 years)Braga, PortugalDesign and development of new optofluidic device for circulating tumor cells (CTCs) phenotyping, responsible for cancer metastasis, under the 3DSecret project. CTCs are enriched and encapsulated in micro-droplets and 3D spheroids are grown to allow comprehensive genomic and transcriptomics studies. The metabolic analysis are performed through recently developed surface-enhanced Raman scattering (SERS) nanosensors, nanofabricated on new clean-room process.
