Gabriela de Jesus Campos is a Research Fellow at the Department of Materials and Ceramic Engineering, University of Aveiro, developing and characterising bio-based coatings for paper packaging within the BIOCOATING project, focused on using non-edible plant by-products for biodegradable active bioplastics. She holds a Master’s in Materials Engineering (2023) and a post-graduation in Engineering and Product Design (2025) from the same university, and is currently enrolled in the PhD in Materials Science and Engineering (since 2024), where she achieved 18/20 in her Project Thesis. Her research outputs include a national patent (2025) on active biodegradable thermoplastics from potato and coffee by-products and a forthcoming article (submission July 2026). She has presented at Jornadas CICECO 25 and the 4th International Circular Packaging Conference. Previously, she worked on sol-gel coatings for aerospace alloys and completed a research fellowship in the Cell4Janus project on cellulose-based materials for environmental remediation. Gabriela participates in international research networks, including the COST Action CA22136-DAEMON and MSCA Staff Exchange project NET4MAT, and will undertake a secondment at Spartha Medical (Strasbourg, France) in 2026 for antimicrobial materials evaluation. Combining expertise in materials characterization, CAD design, and functional coatings, she aims to advance sustainable bio-based materials for next-generation packaging.
