Curriculum Vitae

Cláudio da Silva Rocha

C. Rocha graduated in Chemical Engineering (CE) in 2016 with a final mark of 17/20, being the top student that year. He conducted his master's thesis (02/2016-07/2016) at Bondalti S.A.. His scientific pathway started in 09/2016 at LEPABE as a research fellow in the project LEPABE-2-ECO-INNOVATION (ref.NORTE-01-0145-FEDER-000005) – with a thermodynamic study about the steam reforming (SR) of the olive mill wastewater (OMW). In 2016 he earned an FCT doctoral grant and started the Doctoral Program in Chemical and Biological Engineering at LEPABE/FEUP in 01/2017. The activities were focused on his PhD thesis “Olive mill wastewater valorisation through steam reforming reaction using a hybrid sorption-enhanced membrane reactor for high-purity H2 production'', which was concluded in 09/2021. In this context, a sorption-enhanced membrane reactor was developed to treat OMW through SR, thus promoting H2 production with simultaneous H2 separation and CO2 capture. During the PhD, he has also been involved in the Verpraz project related to OMW valorisation (ref.NORTE 01-0247-FEDER-39789), in collaboration with Adventech®. He has also worked as an external service provider for the CE Department, interpreting experimental results. He was a Postdoctoral fellow at LSRE/FEUP (HyGreen&LowEmissions - ref.NORTE-01-0145-FEDER-000077 – 11/2021-06/2023), where he developed multifunctional reactors for SR of agro-industrial wastewaters. He is currently a Junior Researcher at LEPABE (07/2023-ongoing), conducting research activities on CO2 methanation in adsorptive reactors (modelling and kinetics tests) and on multifunctional reactors for SR of agro-industrial effluents (catalytic tests). Presently, he is a member of the Cycon project (02/2024-ongoing), a collaborative initiative with Air Liquide, focusing on converting CO2 into CH4 using green H2, and an external researcher of the Wastenergy project (ref.DRI/India/0504/2020 - international project related with the SR of agro-industrial wastewaters, funded by FCT, in collaboration with an Indian institution). He is also the principal researcher of the Hydroazeite project (ref.BipProof_2023-24_HydroAzeite, funded by U.Porto – 11/2023-ongoing), which is focused on the development of an CO2 sorption-enhanced reactor at a pilot scale for the SR of OMW. In 2021/22, he served as Professor, teaching classes of Physics at FEUP. In 2024/25, he began teaching the course unit CE Laboratories I, part of the Master’s program in CE at FEUP. He supervised 9 students (internships and Master’s dissertations in CE), 2 research fellows and 2 research initiation fellows. Rocha did an international internship at the U. Salamanca on 10/2023 (Erasmus+ grant). The mobility involved the characterization of CO2 sorbents as well as conducting seminars and promoting meetings with Spanish research groups. He has also obtained official certifications: the HORIZON 2020 training course - European Projects 2020 (U. Paris-Saclay); Leadership and Team Management and Team Management and Coaching (FEUP). He has published during his career 16 papers in international journals with peer review (14 as 1st author and 2 as last author), reporting preparation and characterization of catalysts/CO2 sorbents and processes for the valorization of agro-industrial wastes and for CO2 methanation in multifunctional reactors (all in Q1/Q2 quartiles according to Web of Science), achieving 194 citations, and holding an h-index of 8 (Scopus, 10/2024). He co-authored 12 abstracts published in international peer-reviewed conference proceedings (9 as oral communications). He co-edited 1 book of abstracts of an international conference (4th DCE) and is co-author of 1 book chapter.
