Simão Pandeirada is a PhD student at the University of Aveiro. In 2017, Simão concluded flute and composition studies at the Music Conservatoire of Aveiro. In October of the same year, upon enrolling at the University of Aveiro, he was awarded the "Melhor caloiro /Best Freshman" scholarship distinction, given to students with an entry score of 17.5/20 or higher. He completed his bachelor's (July 2020) and master's (December 2022) degrees in biochemistry at the University of Aveiro with final classifications of 17/20 and 19/20, respectively. During his undergraduate studies, he was part of the organizing team for the XII National Biochemistry Meeting at the University of Aveiro in April 2019. Moreover, during his master's degree, he was awarded an international STSM (April 2022) to have an internship at Université Côte d'Azur, France, and received a research fellowship to work on the design of new bio-based polymers and their chemical recycling process (March-December 2022). Since he started his formation at the University of Aveiro, Simão has consistently participated in workshops and conferences and presented several posters and oral communications in International Scientific events. In 2022 he strengthened his internationalisation degree by joining the COST Action FUR4Sustain (CA18220) about renewable-based polymers and by participating in several events in the framework COST programme (e.g., training schools and conferences). Furthermore, his work has already given rise to two papers that demonstrate his contributions to advancing the field of bio-based polymers. He has also been engaged in the organization of COST events, such as the Happy Hour webinar series. He joined the group of Doctor Andreia F. Sousa at the same University of Aveiro to start his chemistry doctorship in 2023. He is currently working on polymer recycling through greener processes using eutectic solvents and unveiling the reaction mechanisms with computational chemistry.
