Hugo completed his bachelor's degree in Biotechnology in 2021 from the University of Aveiro with a final project on the Human Heme binding protein´s role in immunology. He is currently enrolled in a master's degree on Molecular Biotechnology and Bioengineering in the same university and in 2022 joined the COMPASS research group to write his thesis on the development of 3D printable porous dECM hydrogels for tissue engineering applications. His main academic interests are tissue engineering, regenerative medicine, genetic engineering, sustainability, and scientific communication.

Institution / Organization
2023/03/19 - Current The SUPRALIFE project is a set of conferences focused on supramolecular biomaterials’ chemistry and is a Twinning project funded by the European Union’s Horizon Europe research and innovation program which is coordinated by the COMPASS Research Group at CICECO, at the University of Aveiro (UAVR, Portugal).
Conference
 Supralife First School
Universidade de Aveiro CICECO, Portugal
2023/05/11 - 2033/05/12 The Symposium focusssed on the design and synthesis of a wide range of functional organic polymers including electroactive, chiral, porous (POPs, COFs) and bio-inspired polymeric materials. It will also explored the fascinating properties of organic polymers and their processing towards energy, electronics, biomedical or environmental applications. Some of the topics covered by the symposium: organic batteries, organic thermoelectrics, tissue engineering, chiral polymers and Covalent Organic Frameworks (COFs).
Symposium
 1st Iberian Symposium on Functional Organic Polymers (ISFOP2023)
Universidade de Aveiro, Portugal
2023/07/05 - 2023/07/07 Ciência 2023 was a conference focused on halting climate change and mitigating the impact it has already had on the environment and the planet. Its basis is on coing together to develop more sustainable societies through the development and use of greener materials and production processes, as well as combining to promote bluer economies based on ocean-sourced resources, services and solutions without losing sight of the health of the ocean ecosystem.
