Carlos Tadeu Paula is currently a Junior Researcher at Instituto Pedro Nunes (IPN). With a background in Biochemistry (2014) and a PhD in Chemical Engineering (2023) from the University of Coimbra, he has developed solid expertise in the design, synthesis, and characterization of advanced materials, with a particular focus on their application in biomedical contexts.
His current research interests include the synthesis and characterization of polymeric materials, including films, membranes, and particles, for biomedical applications and commodity products; the 3D (bio)printing of hydrogels for tissue engineering and regenerative medicine; and the 3D printing of biobased polymers, with an emphasis on sustainability and innovation across a wide range of applications.
