João Carlos Velosa Pereira completed his degree in Polymer Engineering at the University of Minho in 2003, a master's degree in Materials Processing and Characterization in 2007, and a master's degree in Human Engineering in 2018, all at the same institution. He is currently finalizing his PhD in Fibrous Materials Science and Engineering at the University of Beira Interior, with a thesis entitled Design and optimization of printed circuit boards reinforced with natural fibres using computational finite element methods. This work focuses on the development and optimization of printed circuit boards (PCBs) reinforced with natural fibres, using finite element methods to enhance structural and environmental performance, thereby promoting more sustainable solutions. His academic and scientific career has been marked by a continuous dedication to the study of composite materials, with a particular focus on understanding manufacturing processes and structural optimization through computational simulation. He has published 9 articles in specialized journals, authored 2 book chapters, and presented 14 papers at conferences. Throughout his professional career, João Carlos Velosa Pereira has worked in Product Engineering, Innovation, and FMEA moderation, collaborating with various companies, including Bosch Car Multimedia Portugal. In parallel, he has been part of research teams at the University of Minho and the University of Beira Interior, participating in projects funded by the Foundation for Science and Technology (FCT) dedicated to environmental technologies and fibrous materials. His teaching experience includes serving as an invited lecturer at the Polytechnic Institute of Cávado and Ave. Furthermore, he has actively participated in numerous international conferences and congresses, reflecting a strong commitment to scientific and technological dissemination, especially in the field of sustainable composite materials.
