Gonçalo Miguel Pinto Pereira is an environmental engineering researcher and PhD student at the Faculty of Engineering of the University of Porto (FEUP), Portugal. He holds an MSc in Environmental Engineering, where his thesis focused on bioremediation approaches for contaminated soils affected by forest fires, and a BSc in Environmental Engineering, also from FEUP. His research interests include soil bioremediation and remediation strategies for contaminated soils impacted by forest fires, including case-study work in Gondomar and studies on xylene-contaminated soils. He has presented his work in scientific forums, including a poster at VII EUROSOIL 2025 and the X Iberian Congress of Soil Science in Seville (“Bioremediation Efficiency in Soils Contaminated with Xylene After Forest Fires”), as well as a poster at IJUP (University of Porto) titled “Effect of Forest Fires on Soil Bioremediation: Gondomar Case Study.”
