Gonçalo Jorge Silva Coelho holds a master's degree in Biotechnology from the University of Aveiro (2023), where he developed his thesis on producing cellulose films using emergent novel technologies such as high-pressure processing. His thesis work has been submitted to the Food Hydrocolloids Journal. Currently, he is a research fellow in the Compass Research Group at the University of Aveiro, integrating the SupraLife project - Multifunctional Biomaterials to Interface with Living Systems. His research focuses on developing supramolecular polymeric biomaterials encompassing marine polysaccharides and peptides by resorting to bottom-up assembly technologies, including molecular self-assembly and layer-by-layer assembly technology. At the moment, he is doing a 5 month exchange time (March 2025 - July 2025) at the University of Bordeaux, France, where he is working on the development of polymersomes based on PEG-b-PBUT for the controlled delivery of cells and drugs. He has experience in advanced processing techniques and biomaterials functionalization and characterization, contributing to the advancement of medical biotechnology and tissue engineering.
