Emanuel V. Capela graduated in Biochemistry in 2014, by University of Aveiro, Portugal, where he received the "Best student admitted in the Bachelor of Biochemistry" Award. Then, he obtained his MSc in Biochemistry - Biomolecular Methods, from the same university, with the Master Thesis final classification of 20 (in a 0-20 scale), and more recently, he obtained his PhD in Chemical Engineering - Bioengineering with honor and distinction, from the University of Aveiro and Instituto Super Técnico - University of Lisbon. Since 2014, he was author and co-author of 15 papers in international peer reviewed journals, with 2 articles being part of themed collections 2017 Green Chem and 2018 PCCP Hot Articles, 1 Green Chemistry Back Cover, and 1 Most Downloaded Fluid Phase Equilib Articles. He has published in diverse and multidisciplinary high impact journals, namely Green Chem, Sep Purif Technol, ACS Sustain Chem Eng, Phys Chem Chem Phys, J Chem Technol Biotechnol, Fluid Phase Equilib, ChemEngineering, Molecules, Biochem Mol Biol Educ and Chem Eng Educ. He was also author of 3 book chapter and 1 encyclopedia entry. The scientific network of Emanuel V. Capela is supported by the publications with 47 more distinct authors with diverse affiliations. He participated in more than 40 national and international conferences, where he presented several oral (30+) and poster communications (70+) with 1 "Best Poster Award", 1 "Honorable Mention to the Poster", received 1 Attendance Grant and won the 1st Place at a Conference Contest for Young Researchers and the 2nd Award in a Shark Tank Idea Contest. He also completed the laboratory supervision of 5 BSc and 8 MSc thesis, 3 MSc grant fellow researcher, 7 volunteer students and 3 summer internships in Biotechnology, Clinical Biochemistry, Biological Engineering and Biomedical Sciences areas. Besides, he was also a member of the organizing committee of 2 international conference, trainer at a winter school and a young chair in another international conference. In addition, he participated as a team member in 3 research projects, namely in one European Research Council (ERC) Grant, and received an FCT PhD Grant in the "Bioengineering and Biotechnology" panel. He worked as a PhD student/researcher at CICECO - Aveiro Institute of Materials, University of Aveiro, Portugal in collaboration with Institute for Bioengeneering and Biosciences (iBB), Instituto Superior Técnico, University of Lisbon, Portugal, as an MSc Researcher and as Research Assistant at Institute for Bioengeneering and Biosciences (iBB), Instituto Superior Técnico, University of Lisbon, Portugal, and was also a Guest Researcher at Faculty of Science and Technology (TNW), University of Twente, The Netherlands. In the past years, he was dedicated to develop a sustainable platform for the extraction and purification of Immunoglobulin Y (IgY) from egg yolk, using aqueous biphasic systems (ABS), and later, his research activities mainly focused in the production of monoclonal antibodies (mAbs) by mammalian cell technology and in the design of integrated systems for the clarification, selective extraction and purification of mAbs, directly from the complex medium, envisaging the integration and intensification of their downstream processing. Moreover, he worked with a new class of solvents, ionic liquids, where his scientific interest devoted to these compounds includes the characterization of their properties and the evaluation of their potential in the establishment of extractive platforms for value-added compounds, in particular for biopharmaceuticals, amino acids and oxidative enzymes.
