Curriculum Vitae

Gilberto Martins

Gilberto Martins (GM) completed a PhD in Chemical and Biological Engineering (2011) and a graduation in Biological Engineering (2005). GM is Post-Doc Researcher at Centre of Biological Engineering, University of Minho. GM main research topic is the optimization of anaerobic digestion processes through the use of carbon nanomaterials. Other research topics are resource recovery and water treatment technologies, water quality modelling, biogeochemical processes, and bioelectrochemistry systems. GM is author of 21 ISI manuscripts (76% in Q1 journals) with an accumulated impact factor of 133 and over 930 citations and an h index of 14 (Scopus 2023). He is also the author of 3 book chapters, 1 editorial, 7 proceedings and several presentations in national/international conferences (15 in the last 5 years). GM was supervisor of 8 graduation students (2 ongoing) and 11 MSc students (8 in the last 5 years, with 3 ongoing), 2 research fellows (1 PhD student under the scope of CM4Methane project), 1 PhD student (co-supervisor, ongoing), 1 guest PhD student (co-supervised), and 1 post-doc researcher. GM was team member in 16 research projects, co-PI in 1 and the principal investigator in 4 (2 national, 1 regional and 2 international, >740k€ of total budget). In 2012, GM was co-recipient of the Portuguese National Environmental Award - PNIA and the Bronze European Environmental Press Award with the SAPHIR - Solution for Algae-Phosphorus Interaction Rupture technology, which resulted in a patent application in 2013 (PPI 47326/13; PCT/IB2013/052889). GM is a representative of the North-PT region in the smart specialisation platform Water Smart Territories. From 2010 onwards, GM collaborates with the Environmental Management and Biological Engineering Integrated Master courses from the Department of Biological Engineering of UMinho, by teaching Numerical Modelling of Environmental Systems, Environmental Management Systems, Impact and Risk Studies, Chemical Thermodynamics, Industrial Support Operations, Products and Clean Processes, and Waste Management and Treatment. GM have several participations in CEB outreach activities, namely the organization of a workshop for high school students “Bioelectricity where you less expect”, within the scope of the Science & Technology week, and the dissemination of my work in several high schools of the region. After PhD completion, GM was also invited to integrate several consulting projects towards the application of water quality modelling and sediment biogeochemical assessments to environmental impact assessment studies and in the elaboration of river basin management plans. GM regularly acts as a reviewer for international scientific journals such as Water Research, Environmental Science and Technology, Science of Total Environment, among others, and integrated the jury of 7 MSc and 1 PhD. In 2021, GM was a special issue editor in Applied Sciences (8 published papers).
