Tânia Vanessa Pinto is a chemist holding a Ph.D. in Sustainable Chemistry (2017) from the Faculty of Sciences of the University of Porto, Portugal. She is currently broadening her expertise in innovation management and technology strategy through an Executive MBA (class of 2026). Her research focuses on the design of fine-tuned micro- and nanomaterials and advanced formulations for applications in functional and smart textiles and agriculture. She has developed conductive carbon-based nanocomposites for textile supercapacitors, light- and temperature-sensing nanomaterials for camouflage fabrics, X-ray shielding composites for medical protective clothing, and bio-based micro- and nanocapsules for microbial encapsulation in crop protection. Her work consistently leverages scalable and eco-sustainable fabrication processes, including coating technologies and advanced fibre-spinning techniques, developed in close collaboration with academia, industry, and technology transfer partners. She also led the strategic area of sustainable fibers before transitioning to her current role as project manager of European-funded initiatives in the defense, aerospace, energy storage, and construction sectors. Her scientific output includes publications in international Q1 journals, book chapters, conference papers, and numerous oral and poster presentations at international scientific events.
