Nuno Canha has been a Lead Researcher at HyLab since January 2024, where he coordinates the Safety and Risk Assessment Unit, focusing on the safe end-use of green hydrogen. His R&D activities combine experimental testing, numerical modelling and risk assessment to characterise hydrogen leaks in different environments, evaluate and mitigate risks associated with hydrogen storage, transport and use, and develop best practices for safety across the hydrogen value chain. He holds an MSc in Chemistry from Instituto Superior Técnico (IST), University of Lisbon, and a PhD in Environmental Sciences from Delft University of Technology (2014). Previously, he conducted research at C2TN/IST and CESAM/University of Aveiro on indoor air quality, particulate matter sources, human exposure to air pollutants and potential health effects. He was also an Invited Assistant Professor at IST (2021–2023). He has participated in 26 research projects, including two as Principal Investigator and two as Co-Principal Investigator, supported by programmes such as LIFE, H2020, Horizon Europe, EEA Grants and COST. His scientific output comprises 69 peer-reviewed journal articles (30 as first author), six books, four book chapters and 172 conference contributions, with 1,756 citations and an h-index of 26 (Scopus). He has supervised 12 BSc, seven MSc and two PhD students and actively promotes science communication.
