Pedro Vaz holds a PhD in Chemistry (Universidade de Aveiro, PT; 2003) and a BSc in Chemistry (Faculdade de Ciências, Universidade de Lisboa, PT; 1998), focusing on structural characterization (vibrational and neutron spectroscopy, and mass spectrometry). He was a staff researcher at the University of Lisbon, Portugal and at the ISIS Neutron & Muon Facility, Didcot, UK. In 2015 he moved into the private sector serving as scientific director, lab manager and consultant for companies in different sectors. He is also head scientist, at Tellspec, where he implements and validates spectroscopy solutions for non-invasive chemical analysis. More recently, at Champalimaud Foundation in its role as researcher at the Lung Unit he is developing early diagnostics for lung cancer using breaht analysis. He has co-authored more than 90 scientific articles, 3 book chapters and several communications at scientific meetings. In parallel, he was also invited to lecture at UPMC, Sorbonne (Paris, France), Osaka Prefecture University (Osaka, Japan) and King Abdullah University of Science & Technology (Thuwal, Saudi Arabia).
