Gonçalo Daniel Saraiva Marques completed the Bachelor's and Master's Degree in Chemical Engineering at University of Aveiro in 2023 and 2025, respectively. During the Master's programme, he joined CICECO – Aveiro Institute of Materials to develop his thesis entitled “Isolation of Bioactive Compounds by Simulated Moving Bed (SMB) Adsorption”, focused on the modelling, simulation, and optimization of continuous chromatographic separation processes for the recovery of high-value bioactive compounds. He was also integrated at LEPABE – Laboratory for Process Engineering, Environment, Biotechnology and Energy, at the Faculty of Engineering of the University of Porto, as a researcher fellow for the H2Driven project. Throughout his academic path, he consistently demonstrated academic excellence and merit, maintaining outstanding performance during both undergraduate and master's studies. He works in the area of Engineering and Technology, with emphasis on Chemical Engineering, particularly in adsorption processes, Simulated Moving Bed (SMB) technology, chromatographic separations and process systems engineering. He has been developing strong competences in adsorption equilibria, mass transfer modelling, dynamic simulation and process optimization, with a particular interest in continuous separation processes, process intensification and the application of modelling tools to enhance efficiency and sustainability in chemical engineering systems. He aims to pursue doctoral studies in Chemical Engineering, contributing to the advancement of modelling and optimization of innovative and sustainable separation processes.
