Braian Uribe (BU) is Materials Engineer from the Universidad de Antioquia, Colombia where he developed his undergraduate thesis on reinforcement fibres and polymer matrix composites at CIDEMAT- Centro de Innovación y Desarrollo de Materiales. In addition to the thesis, this work resulted in the publication of a paper in an international journal and the participation at an international conference. Braian Uribe holds a Ph.D. degree from the EESC/USP- Escola de Engenharia de São Carlos, Universidade de São Paulo, Brazil, in Materials Engineering with an emphasis on hierarchically reinforced high-performance polymer matrix composites (CNPq-140339/2015-9). During his doctoral stay, he carried out experimental and collaborative work with the CNPEM-Centro Nacional de Pesquisa em Energia e Materiais, Brazil, the INA- Instituto de Nanociencias de Aragón, Spain, the group of polymers and macromolecules of the EESC, among others, resulting in several articles for the area and the granting of a patent. BU integrated as a Ph.D. researcher the 25MM € Alchemy project coordinated by the Universidade Católica Portuguesa-Portugal and the company Amyris-USA, to develop polymers and composites from sugar cane derivatives (PT2020/POCI n.º 27578). This project resulted in developments such as a lignin-based hydrophobic coating with applications in the cosmetics and food industry, biocomposites from biomass, and a bioplastic film with UV-resistant properties. Based on this work, some articles were published, and the technological development was protected with an international patent. In Management positions, Braian Uribe led the applications division within the R+D+i area of the company Andercol, today AkzoNobel-Colombia, devoted to the development of innovative products and solutions in the areas of polymers, composites and paints. He also joined the company Padelius Industria-Portugal, dedicated to the development of sporting goods for the Padel market. Braian Uribe has experience in the development, application and analysis of composite materials manufactured by different technologies, among them: BMC, SMC, compression moulding, vacuum-assisted resin infusion, and RTM light. His experience is related to polymers and polymer composite materials extracted from both natural and fossil sources with a focus on different applications such as aerospace, building, transportation, furniture and other engineering topics. BU has worked with different materials such as woods, natural fibres, cellulose, synthetic fibres, polyester, vinyl ester, epoxy, acrylic resins and mineral fillers from the nano to the microscale with major relevance in the understanding of the structure-properties relationship. He has 12+ years of industrial and academic experience with emphasis on the design of experiments for product development (DoE), leadership of technical teams, application of methodologies for project management in the materials industry, reverse engineering, scientific approaches to the development of products and forensic analysis of polymer and polymer-composites. Recently, BU was granted a 6-year contract for the Institute for Polymers and Composites (IPC) as an Auxiliary Researcher in the context of the 2nd Edition of the Individual Call to Scientific Employment CEECINST/00018/2021/CP2806/CT0002, with DOI:https://doi.org/10.54499/CEECINST/00018/2021/CP2806/CT0002. Recently Braian Uribe is part of a strategic research line for both IPC and PIEP related to the understanding and development of high mechanical performance and recyclable polymer matrix composite materials based on reactive monomers and continuous fibres.
