Ricardo Nuno Correia Pereira completed his undergraduate studies in Food Engineering at the Portuguese Catholic University in Porto, Portugal, in 2003. After earning a Master’s degree in Biotechnology - Bioprocess Engineering in 2007, he obtained his PhD in Chemical and Biological Engineering from the University of Minho (UMinho) in Braga, Portugal, in 2011. In 2005, at the University of Minho, he initiated fundamental research into the effects of ohmic heating on the denaturation of milk proteins and protein fractions of milk. Since then, he has established a solid understanding of the effects of electric fields and ohmic heating on the structure and functionality of biomolecules. This focus has not only led to his professional fulfillment but has also significantly contributed to the recognition of the Centre of Biological Engineering (CEB) as a center of excellence. Key indicators of his success include: (i) coordinating and contributing to national and international scientific projects that generated a total income of €2,132,719 for CEB; (ii) supervising 7 PhD students and overseeing the completion of 2 doctoral theses; (iii) publishing 73 papers in international peer-reviewed journals, 83% of which are in Q1 journals, with 11 in the top 5% of their field; (iv) being recognized as one of the World’s Top 2% Scientists in 2023 by Stanford University and the Elsevier Group. Currently, he is an Assistant Researcher at the CEB, serves as the Executive Coordinator of the Competitive Agrifood Systems at CRUSOE, and is the Associate Director of the Industry and Processes Laboratory.
