Susana Rebelo is an Integrated Researcher at LAQV-REQUIMTE, Department of Chemistry and Biochemistry, Faculty of Sciences, University of Porto. She received a PhD from the University of Aveiro (2004) and was a Pos-Doc researcher at the University of Coimbra (2004-8), developing research projects on catalytic and photo-assisted processes based on metalloporphyrins. Currently she coordinates the Biomimetic Chemistry group, with research interests on (photo)-catalysis by first-raw transition metal complexes, including mono and binuclear processes, development of green methodologies for pollutants upcycling, namely microplastics, PAHs and nitro-compounds and valorization of biorefinary derivatives. Other focus is on development of nanozymes with catalase-like activity for application as catalytic antioxidants. Her expertise includes sustainable oxidation reactions by H2O2, with emphasis on alkyl C-H bond functionalization and aromatic epoxidation; molecular materials, namely on the preparation of supramolecular nanostructured materials by ionic self-assembly; preparation of photo-responsive graphitic nano-carbon materials; and preparation of functional wood fiber derivatives. She is the PI of 1 national patent (PT, no 105927), author of 3 book chapters and of 50 papers in scientific journals, 49% of which as corresponding author (1700 citations, H25, 48% in the topmost cited documents worldwide - data from Scopus). Susana Rebelo has been collaborating with researchers from the United States, Poland, Spain, Lithuania and Italy. She participated in 13 research projects and collaborations with industry, 3 as PI, and awarded the Dow Portugal prize. She presented 115 oral and poster communications in national and international meetings, and she was a member of the Scientific Committee or member of the Organizing Committee in 5 scientific meetings. She was also a guest editor for a special issue of "Catalysts" journal and has actively served as an referee in Q1 and Q2 scientific journals. In academia, she (co)supervised 1 post-Doc, 2 PhD, 4 MsC, 14 BSc students and 15 Scientific Internships, she participated as a main external examiner in 4 PhD and 10 MsC thesis exams. Since 2015 she has been yearly an Invited Professor at the University of Porto, lecturing courses in Inorganic Chemistry, Structural Analysis and Catalysis. She has also regularly participated in science dissemination activities, namely she was the academic responsible in a collaboration with a high school, developing the project "Bye Bye Plastic", which wined the first prize in the "Circular Seas" competition (2023) by the "League for Nature Protection, Portugal".
