Carla Vilela (PhD), postdoctoral researcher at CICECO - Aveiro Institute of Materials, University of Aveiro.



Her research interests are dedicated to the sustainable use of biopolymers (bacterial cellulose, chitosan, alginate, pullulan, proteins, etc.) to design and engineer functional nanostructured materials for both biomedical (e.g. drug delivery and wound healing) and technological (e.g. active packaging and fuel cells) applications.
