Luis Miguel Madeira graduated in Chemical Engineering (1993) and received his PhD (1998) from the Technical University of Lisbon (IST, Portugal) in Chemical Engineering - Heterogeneous Catalysis. He joined FEUP in 1999 where is presently Full Professor in the Chemical Engineering Department. He is the Vice-Scientific Coordinator of the research unit LEPABE, and Director of Studies of the Bachelor and Master in Chemical Engineering. L.M. Madeira is member of the Working Parties on Chemical Reaction Engineering (WPCRE) and Education (WPE) from the European Federation of Chemical Engineering (EFCE). He teaches mostly Reaction Engineering subjects as well as Chemical Engineering laboratory courses. He was awarded the “Pedagogical Excellence Prize” in 2015/16 and the “Scientific Excellence Prize” in 2020, both by FEUP.

His main research interests include multifunctional reactors (sorptive-based, membrane-based, etc.), H₂ production and purification technologies (e.g. reforming, water-gas shift), CO₂ capture and valorisation (e.g. CO₂ methanation), and the use of Advanced Oxidation Processes for the treatment of gases and water/wastewater. L.M. Madeira authored/co-authored 207 articles in peer-reviewed internationals journals (h-index of 46; source: Scopus, January 2023), and co-authored over 220 communications in conferences. He has participated  in ca. 40 research projects, either as a coordinator or as a member of the team, including national and EU funding projects. He was/is the coordinator/advisor/co-advisor of 16 postdoc level researchers, 30 PhD students (22 theses already completed, 5 of them in companies) and 50 dissertations of master students.
