I, Maria do Pilar de Araújo Teixeira, have a degree in Biological Engineering/Food and Chemical Technology Branch by the University of Minho (1991), completed a Master¿s degree in Environmental Technology (1996) and a PhD in Chemical and Biological Engineering by the University of Minho in Braga, Portugal, in 2002. From 2003 to 2018, I was a Post Doc Researcher at the Biofilm Group of the University of Minho, and from 2018 - 2024 I was a Junior Researcher at the same university. From September 2024 I'm a Biotech Research Funding Advisor at the University of Minho, at the LABBELS Grant Office. Throughout my career, I published 13 book chapters and 66 papers in international peer-reviewed journals with an accumulated impact factor of 151.19 and with over 2036 citations. My h-index according to the Scopus Author ID is 26. I published 15 articles and 5 book chapters as a first author and 4 book chapters were published as a senior (corresponding) author without co-authorship of the former PhD supervisor. I have reviewed several scientific articles for international Journals (all included in the ISI Web of Knowledge) and I'm an Editorial Board Member of Frontiers in Microbiology and an Editor of a Special Issue of Foods "The Challenge of Biofilms in the Food Industry: Formation, Prevention and Control" . I participated as a team member in 12 national projects and in 3 European projects and was a member of the Organizing Committee of 6 International Scientific Meetings. More recently, I have established international and national network collaborations, namely through the participation in COST BacFoodNet network, with Fibrenamics (an international and multidisciplinary platform for the development of innovative products based on fibers), with the Department of Textile Science and Technology from University of Beira Interior, with Chemistry Department of University of Minho and with companies such as, for example, NBS Curtumes. These and other collaborations resulted in 1 PhD, 2 Master, 2 international trainees and 6 national trainee¿s co-supervisions. I also supervised 1 international internship within the Erasmus + Programme. Since my graduation, I completed the co-supervision of 5 PhD students, 10 Master theses and 5 Integrated MSc students. I recently granted the award IACOBUS papers 2024 (Spain-Portugal). I also have teaching experience as Invited Assistant Professor with contract and as Monitor of several curricular units, such as Interfacial Phenomena, Bioprocess Laboratory, Instrumental Methods of Analysis, Food Technology Laboratory, Laboratories of Transport Phenomena and Materials, Integrated Laboratory I and Integrated Laboratory II, all in the first and second cycles of higher education. I have actively collaborated in the organization and participated in activities to disseminate the knowledge of CEB-UM as Expobiotec (2017,2018, 2023), as an instructor of the practical classes "Surface disinfection" (2014, 2015, 2016, 2018) and "Antimicrobial activity of natural compounds" (2022) in the "Summer on Campus" program. ), in activities aimed at 1st cycle students (2014 and 2022) and welcoming new UM students (2022). I was also a member of the Organizing Committee of the 1st Edition of Braga Biotechnology Week (2023)

  1. Exploring blended learning tools to transform a laboratory course unit in engineering: Challenges, setbacks and rewards. To boost students engagement on learning outcomes, promote active peer learning, and adopt more dynamic teaching practices, a module of a laboratory course unit (TPL) in engineering was reformulated exploring blended learning. This reformulation was even more challenging than initially anticipated as it was implemented during the Covid-19 pandemic. As TPL learning practises are based on the operat. 2021.
