Hey, everyone!
My name is Gabriel Carvalho Bertassone Avila and I was born in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil.
I have always been curious about how factories and the processes around us work. Along with this fact, as I was interested in physics and chemistry after high school, I decided I wanted to become an engineer.
I graduated in Chemical Engineering from the Federal University of Rio de Janeiro in 2021, after some valuable work experiences in the field of sustainability, process engineering, and research and development. I had the opportunity to work in my hometown and also abroad, in countries like the Netherlands and Czech Republic.
Passionate about new experiences, different cultures, and foreign languages, getting a degree abroad was one of my goals and I am currently fulfilling it! I am a student in the double-degree program of the Advanced Materials and Innovative Recycling (AMIR) master, in the Materials Engineering and Circular Economy track, spending the first year of the program at NOVA University Lisbon, and the second year at UPM.
I am interested in innovation in circular economy, development of sustainable polymeric materials, advanced materials and life cycle assessment studies and excited to connect and learn more with you all!
