Dr. Antonio Torres Marques is a highly accomplished academic and Emeritus Professor at the University of Porto, Portugal, specializing in Mechanical Engineering. With a career spanning several decades, he earned his Ph.D. in Composite Materials from the Cranfield Institute of Technology, UK, in 1981. During his tenure at the University of Porto, Dr. Marques served as the head of the Mechanical Engineering Department, making significant contributions to research in Polymeric and Composite Materials, Industrial Design, Biomechanics, and Health and Safety. Despite retiring in 2020, he remains actively engaged in research within the Laboratory for Energy, Transport, and Aeronautics (LAETA). Dr. Marques boasts an extensive portfolio, receiving the Career Prize from the Portuguese Biomechanics Society, and maintaining membership in LAETA, underscoring his enduring impact on the field of Mechanical EngineeringDr. António Sérgio Duarte Pouzada is a distinguished mechanical engineer, leaving a substantial academic and professional legacy. His journey commenced as a project engineer in Angola, and in 1971, he joined the University of Luanda. After a period of teaching in Portugal, Dr. Pouzada became a faculty member at the University of Minho in 1977. His dedication led him to ascend to the position of Full Professor of Polymer Engineering in 1998. Dr. Pouzada earned his Master of Science in Applied Polymer Engineering from the University of Loughborough in 1979, followed by a Ph.D. in 1982. Throughout his illustrious career, he actively supervised doctoral theses, authored numerous articles, and assumed leadership roles, including the presidency of the School of Engineering at the University of Minho.
