Idalina Gonçalves is a Junior Researcher at CICECO – Aveiro Institute of Materials, within the Department of Materials and Ceramic Engineering at the University of Aveiro, Portugal. She earned her Ph.D. in Chemical and Biological Engineering from the University of Minho in 2014. Since 2015, Idalina has been actively engaged in the development of bioplastics derived from agrifood by-products, employing advanced processing technologies such as solvent casting, melt-mixing, extrusion, injection molding, hot-pressing, thermoforming, and 3D printing. These materials have versatile applications, including food packaging and medical devices. Building on her Ph.D. expertise, Idalina has explored enzymatic pathways to enhance the performance of bioplastics, combining fundamental research with practical solutions. Her work bridges laboratory and pilot-scale studies in close collaboration with agrifood and plastics industries. Dedicated to societal engagement, Idalina also emphasizes science communication, actively involving students from primary to higher education in the principles and potential of sustainable materials.
