Isabel M. D. Martins graduated in Chemical Engineering in 2006, at Faculty of Engineering of University of Porto (FEUP). She joined the Associate Laboratory LSRE-LCM in 2006 where she was a member of the research team. Her research focused on the encapsulation of essential oils for textile and cosmetic applications. In 2012, and also at FEUP, she obtained her Ph.D on Microencapsulation of Thyme Oil by Coacervation: Production, Characterization and Release Evaluation, followed by a Post-Doctoral scholarship until 2014.  From 2014 to 2018, she worked at Devan Micropolis, SA as a strategic R&D scientist, where she was responsible for the synthesis and characterization of new formulations for textile applications with health and wellness benefits (http://devan.net/health-wellness/; http://devan.net/performance/), and have been involved in many internal projects as well as projects financed by Portuguese and Belgian entities. In 2019, she returned to LSRE-LCM with an interest in researching and developing natural ingredients with high-added value for different industrial applications. In collaboration with HeiQ Materials AG, she is a co-inventor of a patent with publication number WO2023198509 – Bio-based Microparticles for Textile Treatment (European Patent Office: 2023713690). She acted as a consultant in the “Product Engineering” discipline of the master’s in chemical engineering (2019/2020; 2020/2021; 2021/2022; 2022/2023) and was invited as Assistant Professor, teaching “Chemistry II” in the Bachelor in Chemical Engineering (2023/2024) course at FEUP. She has published 29 papers in international peer-reviewed and high-quality journals (Q1), mostly as the first and/or corresponding author (h-index of 15, Scopus, January 2025), with more than 1100 citations; She supervise 2 ongooing PhD thesis, 11 master students, 2 international student (Erasmus), supported 2 PhD thesis and 4 Pos-doc and several researchers projects.
