Biography

Rui F.P. Pereira (RP) graduated in Industrial Chemistry at the University of Coimbra (Portugal, 2005). In 2012 finished his PhD on Macromolecular Chemistry, in the University of Coimbra, presenting a thesis entitled "Interactions between metal ions and anionic surfactants". From 2013 to Jan 2019, was a postdoctoral researcher in a colaboration between the Chemistry Center of the University of Minho (Portugal) and the Chemistry Center of the University of Trás-os-Montes e Alto Douro (Portugal). The postdoctoral work was focused on the synthesis and characterization of hybrid organic/inorganic multifunctional materials, with special focus on the use of biopolymers. Since Feb 2019, is a researcher in the Chemistry Center of the University of Minho. His research interests topics includes: colloids and interfaces; interactions in polyelectrolyte complexes; disordered and ordered organic-inorganic hybrid materials; biomimetism, biohybrids and biomaterials; bio-inspired superhydrophobic coatings; electrolytes derived from natural materials (proteins, polysaccharides or biomass-derived carbon dots) doped with ionic liquids; applications of natural polymers (e.g., silk-based materials) in sustainable advanced batteries, sustainable "smart windows" and medical devices. RP participated in the publication of 2 book chapters, 39 papers in international peer review journals. RP has more than 60 oral and poster communications in international conferences. RP participated actively in 11 research national and international projects, being directly involved in the fundraising of more than 1.1 million euros . RP is Invited Reviewer of 23 scientific journals, including "Colloids and Surfaces A: Physicochemical and Engineering Aspects", "Journal of Molecular Liquids", "Biomacromolecules", "ChemElectroChem", and "Sustainable Chemistry & Pharmacy", and Review Editor in "Frontiers in Energy Research".
