Pedro Nuno Simões (PNS) earned his Ph.D. in Chemical Engineering at the University of Coimbra (UC) in 2001. During his doctoral studies, he gained extensive experience in the R&D of energetic materials—a multidisciplinary and multiscale field that encompasses synthesis, characterization, and formulation. This work underscored the need for rational, cost-effective approaches in modern R&D programs, with molecular simulation emerging as a key element. Over the past decade, PNS has focused his efforts on establishing state-of-the-art molecular modeling and simulation techniques, supported by high-performance computing (HPC), as a crucial strategy for advancing fundamental scientific knowledge in Chemical Product Engineering. He successfully secured funding to launch a small HPC facility at the Research Center of the Department of Chemical Engineering (CERES) at UC. Concurrently, he has participated in several interdisciplinary R&D projects as both a principal investigator (5 projects) and a team member (22 projects). Some of these projects have integrated theoretical, computational, and experimental approaches across an ecletic range of subdomains in Chemical and Biological Engineering and Materials Science, including micro/nano-structured materials like silica-based aerogels and their organically modified variants, polymer-functionalized liposomes, and variuous systems in the field of Bioengeering. PNS also led the Portuguese contribution to the PREMIUM project (H2020-MSCA-RISE), which focused on the microencapsulation of active agents (prebiotics/probiotics) using the layer-by-layer self-assembly technique to protect and preserve lactic acid bacteria. He has supervised six Ph.D. theses (three completed and three ongoing), two postdoctoral researchers, and more than 27 master's theses. Additionally, he has published over 65 articles in specialized journals, presented more than 70 conference papers, contributed to 10 book chapters, and authored one book. Throughout his career, he has collaborated with more than 141 co-authors in scientific publications. In his professional roles, PNS has held key management and administrative positions at the Department of Chemical Engineering, including serving as vice-director of the department and vice-director of the former DEQ Research Center (CIEPQPF). Currently, he is the coordinator of the Doctoral Program in Chemical Engineering at UC (since 2019).
