Nuno Miguel Velosa Nunes is an Assistant Researcher at the University of Madeira, Portugal, currently involved in the Horizon Europe project IsUP-AgrO—Unlocking the Potential for Agricultural Research on an EU Outermost Region. He holds a PhD in Biological Sciences from the University of Madeira (2020), with a doctoral thesis focused on the industrial application of marine macroalgae through biorefinery strategies. He has also obtained a Master’s degree in Applied Biochemistry and a Bachelor’s degree in Biochemistry from the same institution. Dr. Nunes has extensive experience in blue biotechnology, sustainable agriculture, and the valorisation of marine and agro-industrial resources. He previously worked as a postdoctoral researcher and has served multiple times as an Invited Assistant Professor at the University of Madeira, lecturing in enzymology, biotechnology, agri-food processing, and organic farming. He is a full member of CITAB—Centre for the Research and Technology of Agro-Environmental and Biological Sciences (University of Trás-os-Montes e Alto Douro). His research focuses on biorefinery approaches for micro- and macroalgae, bioactive compounds, circular economy strategies, and climate-resilient agriculture. He has authored and co-authored numerous peer-reviewed publications in high-impact international journals and actively participates in European research networks and COST Actions.
