Ricardo N. Pereira graduated in Food Engineering in 2003 by the Portuguese Catholic University, in Porto, Portugal. He has obtained MSc degree in Biotechnology - Bioprocess in 2007 and finished his PhD in Chemical and Biological Engineering (CEB) in 2011, both degrees at the School of Engineering, University of Minho (UMinho), in Braga, Portugal. Since 2013, its scientific merit and leadership lead to: i) several of talks and publications in international conferences; ii) support scientific internship and supervision of several Doctoral and Master students from national and international institutions ; iii) become editor of the books and guest editor of scientific journal; iv) participation in the writing, and as team member of national/international scientific projects with a total income of 400k € of funds to the host institution CEB; and v) and scientific recognition by obtaining a Assistant Researcher contract under FCT call for Individual Scientific Employment Stimulus(CEECIND/029
