Curriculum Vitae

SANDRA ISABEL RIBEIRO Pereira

Sandra Pereira obtained the PhD title in Agricultural Production Chains - From Fork to Farm (Doctoral Programme AgriChains) in June 2020, with the highest grade (Very good), from the University of Trás-os-Montes e Alto Douro (UTAD) in association with University of Minho, Portugal, Wageningen University, The Netherlands and Polytechnic University of Valencia, Spain. In the University of Trás-os-Montes e Alto Douro, she finished the Master¿s degree in Clinical Biology in 2012. In the same University, she obtained the Bachelor degree in Genetics and Biotechnology in 2010. She was research fellow in 3 projects at UTAD: "River biomonitoring: an integrative approach" (July 2011-July 2013), "BI/FP7/KBBE/2013/PC0062_CB- EUROLEGUME: Enhancing of legumes growing in Europe through sustainable cropping for protein supply for food and feed" (May 2014-January 2017) and "BIM/UTAD/3/2019- Operational Group for the appreciation of the Resende cherry production and positioning of the sub-row in the markets" (April 2019- February 2021). She had a PhD fellowship "BD/Agrichains/UTAD/2016_set" (February 2017- July 2018), under the Doctoral Programme "Agricultural Production Chains - From Fork to Farm" (PD/00122/2012). The title of her PhD thesis was "Selection of appropriate rhizobia strains to support nitrogen fixation and development of inoculants". Between June and October 2016, she went on maternity leave. In September to November 2018, she performed a service in the vineyard, with the objective of evaluating the incidence and severity of several diseases (downy mildew, powdery mildew and gray rot) in the bunch and leaves of two varieties of green wine: Alvarinho and Loureiro. She has also been involved in several activities of extension and dissemination of knowledge. She has 7 articles in peer-reviewed journals, 4 of which as 1st author, 1 patent for microbial inoculum (submitted), 1 publication in a technical journal (Agrotec), 1 handbook chapter, 8 oral communications and 24 poster presentations in scientific conferences. She supervised 2 final work for graduation course and she is currently supervising a bachelor's degree and a master's thesis. Two more scientific papers are currently submitted and under review. Sandra also performed several advanced courses related with scientific writing and agricultural production chains. Currently, she is an integrated member at the Associated Laboratory Inov4Agro- Centre for the Research and Technology of Agro-Environmental and Biological Sciences (CITAB-UTAD). Her curricular and scientific profile fits in the areas of agrarian and natural sciences with emphasis on agriculture, plant production, plant protection, agronomy, biology, biochemistry, with key competences and skills on food science, fruit quality, fruit cracking, health promoting compounds, molecular biology, plant biochemistry and physiology and sustainability.
