Emanuel V. Capela graduated in Biochemistry in 2014, by University of Aveiro, Portugal, where he received the "Best student admitted in the Bachelor of Biochemistry" Award. Then, he obtained his MSc in Biochemistry - Biomolecular Methods, from the same university, with the Master Thesis final classification of 20 (in a 0-20 scale), and more recently, he obtained his PhD in Chemical Engineering - Bioengineering with honour and distinction, from the University of Aveiro and Instituto Superior Técnico - University of Lisbon. Since 2014, he was author and co-author of 16 papers in international peer reviewed journals, with 2 articles being part of themed collections 2017 Green Chem and 2018 PCCP Hot Articles, 1 Green Chemistry Back Cover, and 1 Most Downloaded Fluid Phase Equilib Articles. He has published in diverse and multidisciplinary high impact journals, namely Green Chem, Sep Purif Technol, ACS Sustain Chem Eng, Chem Eur J, Phys Chem Chem Phys, J Chem Technol Biotechnol, Fluid Phase Equilib, ChemEngineering, Molecules, Biochem Mol Biol Educ and Chem Eng Educ. He was also author of 4 book chapter and 1 encyclopedia entry. The scientific network of Emanuel V. Capela is supported by the publications with 49 more distinct authors with diverse affiliations. He participated in more than 65 national and international conferences, where he presented several oral (35+, 9 of them by invitation) and poster communications (80+), with 1 "Best Poster Award", 1 "Honorable Mention to the Poster", received 1 Attendance Grant and won the 1st Place at a Conference Contest for Young Researchers and the 2nd Award in a Shark Tank Idea Contest. Besides, he was also a member of the organizing committee of 2 international conference, trainer at a winter school and chair in another international conference. He completed the supervision of 3 internship and 7 volunteering students, and was responsible for the supervision of the main research activities of 1 post-doctoral researcher, 8 MSc thesis, 5 BSc students, and 3 MSc scholarship grantees. Currently, he is the supervisor of 2 PhD students, 1 internship and 3 volunteering students (under the CICECO Young Scientist Program). In addition, he participated as a team member in 5 research projects, namely in one European Research Council (ERC) Grant, and received an FCT PhD Grant in the "Bioengineering and Biotechnology" panel. Emanuel V. Capela currently holds a position of Junior Researcher at CICECO - Aveiro Institute of Materials, University of Aveiro, Portugal. Previously, he worked as MSc Researcher and as Research Assistant at Institute for Bioengeneering and Biosciences (iBB), Instituto Superior Técnico, University of Lisbon, Portugal, as PhD student/researcher at CICECO and iBB, and also as a Guest Researcher at Faculty of Science and Technology (TNW), University of Twente, The Netherlands. He also acquired experience in the industry, having occupied a position of Research Associate in a biopharmaceutical company – FairJourney Biologics, S.A. –, and also a position of Innovation Project Manager at Frederico Mendes & Associados – Sociedade de Consultores, Lda. In the past years, he was dedicated to develop cost-effective and sustainable processes for the up- and/or downstream processing of several (bio)molecules, especially human antibodies and related biopharmaceuticals. Moreover, he worked with a new class of alternative solvents, ionic liquids, where his scientific interest devoted to these compounds includes their use as phase-forming components of separation liquid-liquid systems, or immobilized in solid supports as novel ligands in chromatographic stationary phases, for application in processes development.
