Renato Gil is a pharmacist who graduated in Pharmaceutical Sciences with an MSc degree (2014) and a European PhD degree (Analytical Chemistry Specialty, 2022) from the Faculty of Pharmacy, University of Porto (Portugal). He joined International Iberian Nanotechnology Laboratory as a Post-Doc Research Fellow in 2022 to develop online monitoring systems for relevant water chemical parameters. His research interests are related to the development of miniaturized potentiometric sensors based on ion-selective membranes and their integration into microfluidic platforms, coupled (or not) with liquid chromatographic separation, for application in food, clinical, and environmental fields. Renato published 9 peer-reviewed papers, 7 as a first author, 3 book chapters, and performed 11 oral communications, 5 poster presentations, and 1 flash talk in national and international conferences. He has awarded by U.Porto Innovation at the Business Ignition Programme 2020. Currently, Renato is serving as guest editor on a Special Issue from Horticulturae journal: "The Diagnosis, Management, and Epidemiology of Plant Diseases" (URL: https://www.mdpi.com/journal/horticulturae/special_issues/TZ5PYDR7G9).
