Vanessa Pereira joined the PolySyc research group after completing her MSc degree in Chemical and Biological Processes in 2017. She began her research career working on the synthesis of new bio-based plasticizers for PVC. During her PhD, she focused on atom transfer radical polymerization, the preparation of well-defined macromolecules, eutectic solvents, and antimicrobial polymers. She is currently a postdoctoral researcher studying the hydrogenation of rosin using different catalysts.
