Doctor Natália C. Homem is a Chemical Engineer with a Master's degree and a PhD in Chemical Engineering, both concluded at Universidade Estadual de Maringá, Brasil, in 2016 and 2019, respectively. During her career, she investigated the potential of using agricultural byproducts as adsorbent materials and the use of bio-based and nanomaterials in the fabrication and functionalization of polymeric surfaces (membranes for separation processes), acquiring a wide experience in the area of modification of polymeric surfaces and polymer processing. During her PhD, Doctor Homem performed an one-year internship at University of Minho, Portugal, with a CAPES/FCT scholarship (from 2016 to 2017). In 2018, she joined the TSSiPRO project at University of Minho as research fellow. In this project, she was responsible for the synthesis and characterization of polymeric membranes based on textile wastes for the treatment of effluents from the textile industry. From 2020 to 2021, Doctor Homem worked as researcher in the PEPTEX project at Centre for Textile Science and Technology (2C2T, University of Minho, Portugal). In this project, Doctor Homem applied her knowledge in the area of polymer processing in order to develop polymeric micro- and nanofibers functionalized with biological molecules for the manufacture of wound dressings with antimicrobial activity. More recently, Doctor Homem has worked at the Institute for Polymers and Composites (IPC) from University of Minho (Factory of the Future: Smart Manufacturing, ref.: 039479) as post-doc researcher, in cooperation with BOSCH company. Currently, Doctor Homem works as a contracted researcher at DTx - Digital Transformation CoLab, at the LEIMSA ¿Lightweight Electronics by Injection Moulding in Seamless Architecture¿ project. During her career, she participated in several international scientific projects in two countries as a collaborator, publishing more than 15 articles in highly regarded journals, 1 book and 2 book chapters. She participated in the organization of 2 events and attended more than 30 international conferences, lecturing as Young Researcher Invited Speaker and performing oral communications, where she received three awards for best oral presentation/poster.
