Susana Cristina dos Santos Pinto

Junior Researcher

Short CV

Susana holds a Bachelor's degree in Chemical Engineering (2005) and a Master's degree in Inks and Coatings - Chemical Engineering (2009), both from the Faculty of Science and Technology, University of Coimbra. In 2020, Susana completed a Ph.D. in Mechanical Engineering at the University of Aveiro.

Her research interests encompass the fabrication and characterization of multifunctional lightweight structures, the functionalization and modification of materials, and the processing of polymer-based composites. She has been involved in FCT projects, R&D projects in collaboration with companies, and two European projects.

Currently, Susana is a researcher in the Department of Chemistry at CICECO – Institute of Materials, University of Aveiro, working on the PRR, Agenda transForm - Digital transformation of the forestry sector for a resilient and low-carbon economy (P4.5. Moulds for Eco-Packaging).
