Expertise: Bioprocess Development, Renewable Resources, Circular Economy, Non-Conventional Yeasts, Bioeconomy Innovation
Short Bio:
He is a researcher and an invited assistant professor at his department. He received his degree in Biomedical Engineering from Universidade do Minho, Portugal, and earned his PhD in Bioengineering in 2014 from Lisbon University, Instituto Superior Técnico, and the MIT-Portugal Program, in collaboration LNEG and MIT. His research focuses on the holistic vision of bioprocess development to produce added-value, such as biosurfactants, enzymes or fuel precursors, from non-conventional yeasts and microalgae, combining the use of renewable resources, circular economy concepts, and sustainable applications as part of significant advancements in the innovation in bioeconomy and its development in society.
