Hugo Ribeiro (HR) is a BSc (2007) and MSc (2008) in Environmental Sciences and Technology by the Sciences Faculty of the University of Porto. During his MSc dissertation, HR was also a fellowship researcher in the RACEWAYS project at the Interdisciplinary Centre of Marine and Environmental Research (CIIMAR). HR obtained his Ph.D. degree in Biomedical Sciences (2013) from the Biomedical Sciences Institute Abel Salazar (ICBAS) - University of Porto. In 2015, HR was a visiting researcher at the National University of Ireland, Galway under an STSM of a COST Action. Currently, HR is a Postdoctoral Research Assistant at CIIMAR under the scope of the UNNOWN project and visiting researcher at ICBAS. HR has 11 publications as the first (and corresponding) author and 5 publications as co-author in peer-reviewed international journals. HR also has 1 conference paper as co-author; 3 book chapters (1 as the first and corresponding author), and 7 International peer-reviewed proceedings. HR is the inventor of a patent application for the development of a prototype to capture microbiomes. At International conferences, HR has 17 oral communications and 21 posters communications. HR also participated in organizing conferences and worldwide campaigns; supervising and jury of BSc dissertations; Ad-Hoc reviewer; and member of scientific associations. HR was also involved in outreach activities within the BIOMAR project and the University of Porto dissemination activities.
