I am a Full Professor in the Department of Bioengineering at Instituto Superior Técnico, and a researcher at the Institute of Bioengineering and Biosciences (iBB). I graduated from Instituto Superior Técnico with a degree in Chemical Engineering. I was a visiting researcher at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) between 1986-1987. I obtained a master’s degree in Biotechnology (Biochemical Engineering), a PhD in Chemical Engineering in 1990, and an aggregation degree from IST.
I am the coordinator of the scientific-pedagogical area of Molecular Engineering and Bioprocesses in the Department of Bioengineering at IST. I served as the coordinator of the Master’s program in Biological Engineering at IST from 2010 to 2012. I was a member of the Scientific Committee of the MIT/Portugal PhD Program, and I served as the President of the Center for Biological and Chemical Engineering (CEBQ) at IST from 2010 to 2012. I was the Vice-President of the Scientific Council and a member of the Coordinating Committee of the Scientific Council of IST from 2007 to 2009. From 2012 to 2020, I was the President of the Pedagogical Council of IST. Since 2021, I have been the Vice-President of the School Council of IST. At iBB, I lead a research group focused on the development of new processes for the production and purification of biopharmaceuticals, as well as the scaling of these processes to the microscale. I am the President of the Downstream Processing section of the European Society of Biochemical Engineering Sciences (ESBES) and the President of the Portuguese Society of Biotechnology. I am an editor of the journal Separation and Purification Technology. I have supervised over 60 master’s and doctoral dissertations and authored more than 200 articles and book chapters in the fields of Biotechnology and Bioengineering.
