Education Susana Cabral da Fonseca (S. Cabral-Fonseca) is graduated in Chemical Engineering (NOVA School of Science and Technology, 1992) and has a Master and a PhD degree in Polymer Science and Engineering (University of Minho, 2001 and 2008, respectively). Experience S. Cabral-Fonseca is a Research Officer in LNEC, where she started her research carrier in 1994. She works in the Materials Department, in the Organic Materials Unit, particularly with polymer-based construction materials. Her main activities are divided in the following lines (i) research and innovation, (ii) studies, consultancy, and expertise, (iii) promotion of quality in the construction sector and (iv) knowledge dissemination actions and technical training. She is member of the Nacional Committee (i) CEN/TC 250/WG4: “Structural Eurocodes – Fibre reinforced polymer structures” and (ii) CEN/TC 139: “Paints and varnishes”. Research profile Her scientific interests are focus on the durability of polymer-based construction materials, in particular fibre reinforced polymer composites. More precisely, she has been dedicated to the study of durability of (i) FRP materials used for new constructions and (ii) systems used in rehabilitation schemes of concrete structures, namely externally bonded reinforcement with FRP. S. Cabral-Fonseca was team leader in a research project (2016-2019) and has participated in more than 7 projects in the last 10 years. She is, currently, responsible at the LNEC for a project funded by the FCT (PTDC/ECI-EGC/4609/2020), within the scope of which an extensive experimental programme on durability of FRP structures is underway. She is also participating in two Portuguese operational programme research projects: (i) Ipaint (POCI-01-0247-FEDER-047141), which aims to develop of smart coatings incorporating inhibition agents for application in concrete structures; (ii) BioRoadPav (LISBOA-01-0247-FEDER-047061), which intends to create a technology for the chemical transformation of bio-oils, obtained from the liquefaction of wood from forest residues, to originate bio-bindings for mixtures and emulsions to be applied in road pavement, replacing bitumen from petroleum. She was co-supervisor of 11 master theses and 3 doctoral theses. S. Cabral-Fonseca is author/co-author of 25 peer-reviewed journal publications and of about 45 national and international conference presentations. She is also author/co-author of more than 200 Technical Reports carried out within the scope of LNEC’s activities. S. Cabral-Fonseca has been member of several academic juris (PhD and MSc degrees) and peer reviewer in several international journals of her area of expertise. March, 2022
