João Moreira de Campos graduated in Chemical Engineering at the Faculty of Engineering of the University of Porto (FEUP) in 1980, joined the Department of Chemical Engineering of FEUP in 1979 as Monitor. In 1983 attended the Diploma Course of the von Kármán Institute – Bruxelles. In 1987 obtained his Ph.D. degree in the area of Multiphase Flow at FEUP. Since then, he is responsible for the teaching of several disciplines in the area of transport phenomena (Fluid Mechanics, Heat and Mass Transfer and Unit Operations) in various undergraduate and postgraduate courses at FEUP.Between 1990 and 1998 he was director of the Integrated Master’s Course in Chemical Engineering at FEUP. He founded in the 90’s the Transport Phenomena Research Center (CEFT) and has been its scientific coordinator since then. Currently, he is Full Professor at the Chemical Engineering Department of FEUP and member of the Board of Regents of FEUP and of the General Board of the Oporto University.

In an early stage of her career, after PhD in 1991 on Combustion, oriented her activities to the Transport Phenomena area with particular interest in Mass Transfer and Characterization of two-phase flow patterns using advanced optical techniques. More recently, integrated the know how acquired with other skills of the core formation in Chemical Engineering, in Energy applications in particular in the Fuel Cell area, namely the Direct Methanol and Ethanol Fuel Cells (modelling and experimental studies, macro and micro scale), Microbial Fuel Cells, PEM Fuel Cells and Electrolysers and Hydrogen Generators and Storage (Chemical Hydrides) systems.The main target is the development of solutions to efficiently produce energy for different applications which is strategically aligned to Horizon 2020 goals. Impact is expected in the transports sector (by increasing the Hydrogen storing capacity and PEM fuel cells optimization), in the wind sector (by developing more efficient PEM fuel cells and electrolysers for an alternative back-up power system) and in the portable sector (by designing micro direct alcohol fuel cells). By converting a variety of materials such as complex organic wastes or renewable biomass into electricity, Microbial fuel cells can be advantageously combined with applications in wastewater treatment.Director of the Doctoral Program in Chemical and Biological Engineering (PDEQB), Chemical Engineering Department, FEUP, Portugal, since 2010. The program has an average number of 90 PhD students and produces around 14 PhD theses per year.Was a member of European Network FCTESTNET (Fuel Cell Testing and standardisation Network).Is regularly invited to be an expert evaluator of Horizon 2020 Projects – Storage – Low Carbon Energy, FCH – Fuel Cells and Hydrogen, ITN – Marie Sklodowska-Curie
