I finished my PhD in Macromolecular Chemistry in 2015, at the University of Coimbra, having been invited researcher at the Lund University (Sweden). I am the PI of two funded projects (one laCaixa/FCT-funded project and one CENTRO2030-FEDER funded), and I am involved in the scientific coordination of an FCT project. During the last years, I have been involved in the coordination of more than 15 R&D projects, involving companies such as BASF GmbH, Amorim & Irmãos, among others, and am inventor of two patents (granted). Had published 55 articles in international peer-review journals, (h-index: 24; ca. 2050 citations).). I am editor-in-chief of the Applied Rheology journal (DeGruyter), member of the editorial board of the Macromol journal (MDPI), of the Physical Chemistry and Chemical Physics (speciality section of Frontiers in Chemistry and Frontiers in Physics), section board member of the Polymers journal (MDPI), project peer reviewer for the Science Fund of the Republic of Serbia, and reviewer of several scientific top journals. I have been involved in the supervision of 15 master's theses (12 concluded and 3 ongoing), and, in the supervision of four PhD theses (1 finished and 3 ongoing). Had delivered more than 45 oral and poster communications at international conferences.
