Sofia Pereira (SP) holds a degree in Biology (2001), MSc in Toxicology (2004) and a PhD in Biology (2010) from Aveiro University (Portugal). Currently, she is Researcher and Invited Assistant Professor at Centro Biotecnologia e Química Fina, Universidade Católita Portuguesa. Her scientific activity is primarily focused on advancing biotechnological approaches for sustainable and resilient agriculture, as well as the restoration of degraded areas, with a particular emphasis on environmental and agricultural biotechnology. Her scientific outputs are the result of an interdisciplinary approach integrating complementary fields including soil science, plant science, microbiology, and biotechnology. SP has published over 50 papers in SCI journals and book chapters and 2 technical guides. Her work accumulates 1319 citations, with an h-index of 22 (SCOPUS). She co-authored an international patent and has more than 95 communications in scientific international/national conferences, including 26 oral presentations. SP has been involved in 12 national and EU-funded research projects focused on plant-microbe interactions and stresses. She maintains an active international network, collaborating on shared scientific publications, and actively participates in 6 COST ACTIONS. SP has extensive editorial experience, having served as a guest editor for 9 special issues in prestigious international journals. She also holds the positions of Associate Editor at Frontiers in Plant Science and Academic Editor at Plants journal and PLOS One. SP's expertise extends to project evaluation across various funding programs, including the OPUS-19, NCN in Poland, the Open Technology Programme 2020 under the Dutch Research Council (NWO), the MSCA DOROTHY COFUND Irish Research program, among others. SP has been involved in the supervision of students from different academic levels, including PhD (including scientific support to several international PhD), MSc and undergraduate students (e.g., ERASMUS+). SP has also been dedicated to teaching at undergraduate (Regent of Mycology, UCP) and post-graduate levels. SP actively engages in outreach and communication efforts aimed at bridging the gap between science, technology, and society. She organizes seminars, workshops, and demonstration sessions to disseminate scientific knowledge to diverse audiences. Additionally, SP collaborates on press releases and invited talks to communicate research findings effectively to the public. Through these initiatives, she endeavors to increase public understanding of scientific advancements and their implications for society. Currently, her main research interests are focused on the development of sustainable strategies to address the impact of climate changes and abiotic stresses on crop productivity. Specifically, she focuses on devising stable bioinocula formulations using new carrier materials and exploring the application of amendments and cropping patterns to enhance soil health and crop resilience.
