C. Lodeiro published 310 documents (By Scopus) in international peer-reviewed journals with an accumulative impact factor higher than 800 and 7247 citations (August 2023). 80% of these papers were published in first quartile high impact factor publications such as Nano Res (IF: 7.010), J Mat. Chem A (IF: 7.443), J. Mat. Chem. A (IF: 9.931), J. Am. Chem Soc (IF: 12.113) and Biomaterials (IF: 8.557). His research contributions have attracted a high number of citations (over 6095 to date (Thomson Reuters), and he has an h-index of 45 (Google Academico). The 2010 publication in Chem Soc Rev has been cited over 217 times, and 23 other papers received over 50 citations, many related to innovative emissive smart materials and nano-sensing. The number of publications in high-level journals and the citations reflect his work's high quality, productivity and importance to date. His state-of-the-art research in multifunctional novel metallic nanoparticles for SERS and Proteomics Applications has recently been patented (Br 102015 018736 0, University of São Paulo, Brazil; Universidade NOVA de Lisboa, Portugal). C. Lodeiro's breakthrough research has been highlighted in 29 scientific journal covers and has attracted many researchers to participate in 62 international conferences (Up to August 2023) attended by close to 8500 International scientists. The international conferences organized since 2009 have promoted the internationalization of the Faculty of Science and Technology (www.fct.unl.pt) and have contributed to the development of the social fabric of Caparica. Furthermore, the hands-on courses held in the FCT have become well-known internationally and have been sponsored by the European Proteomics Organization (EuPA). The Scientific Society Proteomass collaborates with promoting science at all levels and currently sponsors two doctoral theses and contributes to creating a research environment of excellence by bringing to the Chemistry Department-FCT the latest technology in mass spectrometry (High-Resolution Mass Spectrometry). Through these activities, the BIOSCOPE group has raised private funding to equip the BIOSCOPE¿s laboratories with state-of-the-art instrumentation for proteomics and nanotechnology (estimated funding 1MEuros). C. Lodeiro has been the Principal Investigator in 13 research projects since 2004 financed by FCT, European Union, CNPQ¿Brazil, Xunta de Galicia, Spain, and MEC-Spain, totalling over 1.5 million euros, and has participated as a research partner in others 22 research projects. He is involved in many research collaborations in Portugal and abroad, including Spain, the UK, Italy, France, Germany, Finland, Sweden, Holland, the United States of America, Australia, Sweden, Brazil and Argentina. Since 2002, C. Lodeiro has made significant teaching contributions in many chemistry-related subjects, including Inorganic Chemistry, Physical Chemistry, Analytical Instrumental Analysis, Bio-inorganic Chemistry, etc. and 20 training Hands-on courses in Portugal, Spain and Brazil. He has mentored 12 Ph. students, 16 master students and eight Postdocs. Since 2008, he has coordinated over 25 Erasmus agreements between Portugal and Spain, the UK, Finland, France, Sweden, Romania, Poland, Holland, Germany, and Italy, plus several Educational Agreements with the United States and Canada. His research leadership includes being an external evaluator of research projects and grants (Spain, Portugal, Romania, United Arab Emirates, Czech Republic, Brazil, Switzerland and Belgium) and a regular referee in more than 50 scientific journals. Dr Lodeiro was appointed as Executive Editor-in-Chief in the Journal of Integrated OMICS, Associate Editor in Frontiers in Chemistry in the sections of Inorganic Chemistry and Nanoscience (NPG-IPLF), and Dyes and Pigments (Elsevier), and Board Member in Inorganic Chemistry Communications (Elsevier) and, Nanomaterials and Materials( (MPDI).
