Pedro M. P. Santos is graduated in Chemical Engineering at Instituto Superior Técnico (2001) and completed is PhD in Chemistry at Faculdade de Ciências e Tecnologia - Universidade Nova de Lisboa (2010). His thesis focused the degradation mechanisms of relevant biological compounds induced by oxidizing radicals generated by radiolytic and radiomimetic methods. He is currently a researcher at the Center for Nuclear Sciences and Technologies (C2TN, IST). He is responsible for the operation, maintenance and upgrades of an experimental cobalt-60 irradiator and a 10 MeV linear electron accelerator, both belonging to the Ionizing radiation Facility (IRIS) of C2TN. He has several scientific collaborations within in the fields of Health, Environment and Materials R&D that make use of the ionizing radiation, where he is responsible for the definition and execution of irradiation protocols, dose mappings and dosimetric studies. He participated in several IAEA training courses focused on electron beam irradiation processing aspects - advanced applications, dosimetry, use of uncertainties, validation and process control.
