João Pedro Correia holds a Master's degree (2024) and a Bachelor's degree (2022) in Materials Engineering, both from the University of Aveiro, where he is currently pursuing a PhD in Materials Science and Engineering (since September 2024), specializing in materials for biomedical applications. He also serves as Manager of laboratory at the University of Aveiro. He has been actively engaged in scientific research, having participated in two research initiation projects and currently serving as a research fellow in the FeedValue project, focused on the valorization of agri-food by-products for sustainable applications. His current research explores carbonaceous materials derived from apple waste—such as biochar and activated carbons—for the adsorption and mitigation of methane and CO2. João Pedro has presented his work at several national and international conferences, including Materiais 2025 (poster presentation), Research Summit 2025 (oral presentation), NetPore 2025 (oral presentation), EmergeMAT 2025 (oral presentation), and Jornadas CICECO 2025 (poster presentation). Committed to expanding his scientific knowledge and international collaboration, he has participated in multiple advanced training schools, such as the PhD School “Natural Materials for Advanced Applications” (SPM & Instituto Superior Técnico), the Summer School “Future Trends on CNMs-Based Composites: From Development to Market Application in the Framework of Sustainability and Digitalization” (Research Lab of Advanced, Composite, Nano Materials & Nanotechnology; European Cooperation in Science and Technology; Dallara Automobili), and the Final MC Meeting of the CA19118 EsSENce COST Action (Instituto de Ciência e Inovação em Engenharia Mecânica e Engenharia Industrial). He has also applied to join a new COST Action beginning in the 2025/2026 academic year. In addition to his academic and research activities, he co-organized a charity event in support of ACAPO – the Portuguese Association of the Blind and Amblyopic.
