Paula ML Castro is currently Full Professor at Escola Superior de Biotecnologia (ESB-UCP). She obtained a degree in Food Engineering from ESB-UCP in 1989, and holds a PhD degree in Biochemical Engineering from University College London, 1994. After her PhD she worked in a UK biotech company for two years in environmental biotechnology, line she has continued at ESB-UCP. Main research areas focuses on developing bioprocesses and nature based solutions, including biodegradation of pollutants and wastewater treatment and soil phytomanagement and microbial assisted crop production in forestry and agriculture, having coordinated a vast range of national and international research projects leading the group on environmental biotechnology at CBQF. She co-authored more than 250 publications in international journals/books and was involved in the supervision of 20 concluded PhD theses, with and h-index 58 in Jan 2025. She is among the 2023 world’s top 2% Scientists List for career-long impact in Environmental Sciences, Biotechnology and Enabling & Strategic Technologies. She is since Jan 2021 the Dean of Escola Superior de Biotecnologia -UCP.
