Susete Fernandes (SF), Ph.D. in Chemical Engineering, with emphasis in polymer science, recently has become an Invited Assistant Professor of the Materials Science Department at the Nova School of Science and Technology, NOVA University Lisbon and the associated Materials Research Centre (CENIMAT), a hub of the Associated Laboratory Institute of Nanostructures, Nanomodelling and Nanofabrication (i3N). In this Research center, she has been a PhD Researcher since late 2018. Joining the Soft and Biofunctional Materials group in late 2010 as a post-doctoral fellow, she was able to participate as an author/co-author of several journal articles, publish a patent, and be the inventor of two others with industry submitted. She participated in several national and international projects. SNF was the PI of 1 project (NanoCell2SEC classified with A by the evaluators) and is contributing to 2 ongoing national projects (ALLFIBRE, DynaCellCollect), is a team member of 1 international project with ICPS (Spain) and 1 PRR (BLURBIO). Since the beginning, she has been involved in teaching activities, mainly practical classes where a background in polymer science was needed. Mentoring international and national Ph.D. students, Master's students, and Undergraduate Projects, she disseminates her passion for polymer science and mainly her knowledge of natural-based systems such as cellulose nanocrystals, cellulose derivatives, and chitin. Founder and treasurer of the Portuguese Liquid Crystal Society and committee member of an Interest group of the prestigious Royal Chemical Society (RSC) focused on nanoscience and nanotechnology; she is actively involved in preparing several international conferences and symposiums. SF has published peer-reviewed papers in WoS-indexed international journals, including high-impact factor journals such as three Advanced Materials and two Advanced Functional Materials. Some of this work was internationally recognized by editors with the invitation to produce eight covers of the journals. Skills, Research Interests, and Future Perspectives: Susete Fernandes has extensive experience in polymers' syntheses and their functionalization (as polyolefins, cellulose nanocrystalline, and natural polymers) and presents skills in several characterization techniques of these materials. In recent years, she has devoted her research interest to cellulosic-based materials, mainly from cellulose nanocrystals derived from liquid crystalline phases to produce color-generation systems with bio-inspired responses. These systems allow obtaining cutting-edge products to satisfy the demands of end-users’ comfort using sustainable approaches. She intends to continue working in materials science, emphasizing polymer science, with systems mainly derived with nanoparticles from polysaccharide-based systems with a particular interest in cellulose, chitin, chitosan, alginate, gelatin, and its derivatives. She expects to develop sustainable multifunctional responsive composite systems. In addition, teaching is one of her passions, allowing her to share the knowledge acquired throughout the years while learning, a crucial tool that drives her to fulfill the tasks in sight.
