About the Future of Research in Chemical and Biochemical Engineering
See OPEN POSITIONS
& OPPORTUNITIES
LEPABE is a research unit operating in the fields of Chemical, Environmental and Biological Engineering at the Faculty of Engineering of Porto (FEUP). With a large majority of young researchers, LEPABE is focused on generating scientific knowledge through interdisciplinary research, and on establishing successful university–industry collaborations for effective technology transfer.

ALiCE kick-off meeting
Posted on January 21st, 2021
The kick-off meeting of ALiCE, the recently created Associate Laboratory in Chemical Engineering, took place on January 21st, at FEUP Main Auditorium. During the event, ALiCE members and invitees got to know ALiCE main objectives and mission and its organisation in research thematic lines.
The ALiCE consortium, is composed by LEPABE, LSRE-LCM and CEFT, three R&D Units based at the Department of Chemical Engineering at FEUP. The Associate Laboratory status is attributed, through highly competitive calls, to institutions or consortia of scientific institutions that make institutional commitments to carry out the country's scientific and technological policy objectives.
Prof. Pedro Rodrigues (Vice-Rector of U.Porto), Prof. João Falcão e Cunha (Director of FEUP) and Prof. Nuno Rodrigues (Vice-Director of IPLeiria) were present at the meeting and addressed ALiCE members with kind and motivational words. ALiCE is thankful for all the support from U.Porto and FEUP in achieving this goal.
ALiCE team is proud of the accomplishments made so far and wishes all the success for ALiCE members in the future!
Work by LEPABE team is highlighted as feature paper in CrystEngComm
Posted on January 14th, 2022
The article “Crystallization of paracetamol from mixtures of ethanol and water in a planar oscillatory flow crystallizer: effect of the oscillation conditions on the crystal growth kinetics” is a feature paper in the HOT articles collection of CrystEngComm, a journal from Royal Society of Chemistry.
The HOT collection represents the top 10% of research published articles in CrystEngComm each quarter. Featured articles are marked as HOT by the handling editor or as recommended by referees. The distinguished article resulted from the work developed by a team from LEPABE, led by Prof. Fernando Rocha and Dr. António Ferreira, in which crystal growth kinetic data is reported for a planar oscillatory flow crystallizer.
Access to the HOT paper here.
Four LEPABE researchers with permanent contracts
Posted on January 6th, 2022
Four researchers were recently hired as permanent researchers under the scope of LEPABE/ALiCE: Dr. Nuno Ratola as Principal Researcher, and Dr. José Carlos Pires, Dr. Sofia Sousa and Dr. Tânia Tavares as Assistant Researchers.
These contracts are in line with LEPABE and ALiCE’s commitment to recruit and retain researchers of high scientific merit, as part of the strategy to foster the development of scientific careers.
Congratulations!
LEPABE whishes you all a MERRY CHRISTMAS and a happy 2022!
