I am currently an Assistant Researcher at the Centre of Molecular and Environmental Biology (CBMA). In 2012, I completed my PhD in Biology with a specialization in Materials Science and Engineering at Univ. Minho (Portugal), in collaboration with Univ. Valladolid (Spain), focusing on the development and characterization of bioinspired genetically engineered protein polymers. Following the completion of my PhD, I embarked on post-doctoral studies at CBMA (2013-2016), collaborating with the Centre of Physics (Univ. Minho; PT) and the BioForge research group (Univ. Valladolid; SP). This period was instrumental in consolidating my multidisciplinary expertise in molecular biotechnology and materials science, particularly in using biopolymers for the formulation of bioactive hybrid materials and composites. In 2016, I joined the project EcoAgriFood as a Researcher and Task Leader, overseeing the formulation and development of biocontrol agents. In 2020, I secured a contract as an Assistant Researcher under the highly competitive Scientific Employment Stimulus Instrument. Currently, my research interests focus on applying biological systems as inspiration for sustainable bio-based solutions in “green” materials and bioremediation approaches. Particularly, on the use of microbial cell factories for i) developing multifunctional recombinant protein polymers using natural proteins as blueprints, with a special focus on the formulation of antimicrobial materials; ii) exploring the biotechnological potential of marine microorganisms through bioprospecting value-added compounds, and iii) utilizing microorganisms as a bioremediation platform for the biodegradation of petroleum-based plastics and the decontamination/restoration of polluted environments. This has enabled me to acquire expertise in sustainability and circular economy, complemented by my participation in various courses on these subjects. To date, I have authored >40 scientific publications (WoS, February 2024), delivered >100 oral/poster communications at national/international conferences, and given >20 invited lectures in post-graduation classes, advanced courses and conferences. I supervised 4 PhD theses (1 finished, 3 ongoing), 17 MSc theses (12 finished, 5 ongoing), and 12 BSc projects (12 finished). Over the past years, I have collaborated with national and international institutions, actively participating in R&D projects, assuming roles as a coordinator, principal investigator and team member, both with academia and industry. In the last 6 years, I was involved as PI/co-PI/task leader in 6 projects, securing >€5 M of total funding, and participated as a team member in many other. I hold several positions at Univ. Minho, namely vice-coordinator of the Institute of Science and Innovation for Bio-Sustainability (IB-S), member of the Scientific Council and member of the Internationalization Commission of the School of Sciences. Furthermore, I am an External Project Evaluator for the German Research Foundation, and an Expert Evaluator and Expert Monitor for the European Commission-Research Executive Agency. Beyond my research activities, I completed a post-graduation in Management in 2015 to complement my scientific background with management and entrepreneurship competencies and participated in various entrepreneurship training programs. I assumed lecturing activities as Invited Assistant Professor of Entrepreneurship at the School of Economics and Management (Univ. Minho), and have been involved in entrepreneurial activities, serving as consultant/mentor and business coach/tutor for entrepreneurial projects. Moreover, I have been involved in initiatives aimed at disseminating knowledge to civil society and fostering collaboration with industry and local government ecosystems to promote innovation and sustainability. In summary, my journey encompasses a dedication to advancing scientific knowledge, fostering collaboration, and driving innovation for a sustainable future.
