Bruno Medronho (BM) graduated in Chemistry from the University of Coimbra in 2004 and completed his PhD in Macromolecular Chemistry (mixed fellowship), in 2009, in the same institution. During the PhD, BM received 2 years of scientific training in Lund University (Sweden) at the Division of Physical Chemistry (Prof. Ulf Olsson) and has also been an invited guest researcher in Paderborn University (Prof. Claudia Schmidt, Germany) and at Wellington University (Sir Paul Callaghan and Prof. Petrik Galvosas, New Zealand). Since BM has obtained his PhD degree, he has been successfully involved in the research of 2 major R&D international consortiums composed of several academic and industrial partners such as IKEA and H&M. These consortiums, CelluNova/Kiram and CelluNova2, aimed at developing and commercialise new environmentally improved processes for the production of regenerated cellulose fibers. Within the projects framework, BM was guest researcher at Swerea IVF, Mölndal (Prof. Bengt Hagström) and at Karlstad University (Prof. Ulf Germgård). BM was also a collaborator of AvanCell (Södra's Research Foundation) and organized the Avancell Summit in Faro, 2015. In 2012, BM became a Postdoctoral fellow at the University of Algarve (UAlg) where, since then, he has been coordinating a new research line, focusing on biopolymer dissolution, regeneration and novel materials whose merit and quality was recognized in 2014, with the "Research and Technological Innovation" award delivered by the Portuguese Minister for Agriculture and Sea. BM is the co-author of 5 book chapters and has published 80 papers in international peer review journals (h-index: 35 and ca. 4166 citations, Google scholar accessed on 31 january 2024). BM was the Guest Editor of the special issue "Cellulose dissolution and regeneration: systems and interactions" published in the Nordic Pulp & Paper Research Journal, "Cellulose and Renewable Materials" and "Cellulose and Lignin Feedstock for Renewable Material published at Polymer (MDPI) and "Towards Sustainable Solutions: Recent Advances in Polyphenol-Based Biomaterials" published at Molecules (MDPI). He currently reviews several scientific top journals such as Langmuir, Soft Matter, PLOSone, Cellulose, Carbohydrate Polymers, European Polymer Science, Nanoscale, etc. BM is the Principal Investigator of the awarded projects "FibraCel" (PTDC/AGR-TEC/4049/2012), "FibraCel2" (PTDC/AGRTEC/4814/2014) and "ReFloRest" (PTDC/ASP-SIL/30619/2017) with a total funding of ca. ¿600000. From 2014 until 2018, BM has represented UAlg as an associated partner of the "Biopolymer Based Food Delivery Systems-BIBAFOODS" project, an Initial Training Network funded by the FP7-PEOPLE-2013 programme where he was involved in the co-supervison of a PhD student. The collaboration with Portuguese companies is also a priority in the scope of technology transference; BM was recently a research member of: Projecto em co-promoção C-TEC "Framing Technical Components in Polymer Matrix Composites Reinforced with Cellulose". BM has been involved in the supervision of 3 diploma thesis, 8 master thesis and 4 PhD thesis. BM has been the adviser of 3 postdoctoral fellows. From 2004 to 2010, BM has collaborated in the teaching of Colloidal Chemistry I and II and Chemistry of Materials at Coimbra University. Since 2021, BM teaches the curriculum unit Scientific Methodology and Introduction to the Laboratory, biochemistry course, 1st year. BM has ca. 50 oral and poster communications in international conferences and has been invited to be a member in 7 PhD evaluation committees at the Universities of Coimbra and Aveiro (Portugal), Lorraine (France) and Alcalá (Spain). Since 2019, BM is Visiting Professor at the Surface and Colloid Engineering group at FSCN in Mid Sweden University, Sweden.
