Curriculum Vitae

EDGAR XAVIER CARVALHO PINTO

I am currently pursuing a Master's degree in Biomedical Engineering at the University of Minho since September 2019. I actively participated in the dissemination of Organs-on-a-chip technology during the European Researchers' Night (NEI). I have received 7 awards in recognition of my academic and research achievements. Additionally, I collaborated with Minho University's Centro ALGORITMI as part of a research project focused on Organ-on-a-chip geometry optimization. Beyond my academics and research, I love football (soccer) and have been actively playing federated football since a young age. Throughout my football journey, I have achieved several individual and collective titles, including participation in the prestigious Lopes da Silva tournament, where my team secured the 2nd place. In addition to sports, I am also musically inclined. I enjoy playing the piano and guitar, nurturing my passion for music and creativity outside of my academic pursuits.
