José Ferraz-Caetano

I am a Portuguese chemist, historian and philosopher of science.

Currently a Researcher of the Massachusetts Institute of Technology – Portugal Program at the LAQV-REQUIMTE Lab - University of Porto, Portugal. I work with Data Science for Computational Chemistry, developing Artificial Intelligence methods towards chemical property and reaction predictions.

I collaborate as a Visiting Researcher at the Institute of Contemporary History, Portugal, working on chemistry’s role in the emergence of science-based regulations and how it can help understand ongoing issues on fake-science and misinformation.

I am also a Fulbright Scholar with the University of California (Irvine) and regularly write about science communication and public understanding of science.
