Tiago Repolho, Junior ResearcherTiago Repolho is a junior researcher and an invited lecturer at the Animal Biology Department of the Faculty of Sciences (University of Lisbon, Portugal) and an integrated researcher at MARE - Marine and Environmental Sciences Centre. He graduated in Biology in 2001, obtained an MSc in Biology and Marine Resources Management in 2007, and a PhD in Marine Biology and Aquaculture in 2012. Between 2012 and 2019, he was a postdoctoral researcher at MARE. Since the beginning of his postdoc position until now he studies the biological processes involved in the acclimation and adaptation potential of marine biota to a multistressor environment (ocean warming, ocean acidification, hypoxia). Since the early start of his career, TR has been gathering (at a national and international level) a strong multidisciplinary scientific and technical expertise in Aquaculture (AQ), Biochemistry, Physiology and Climate Change (CC) research. He is passionate about AQ and CC research and taking advantage of his multidisciplinary background, TR aims to synergistically bridge these two areas and his core expertise towards the development of an emerging, climate-resilient and environmentally-friendly green technology, i.e. marine aquaponics (MA). Aiming to develop an innovative research line (MA) at his host and delivering novel empirical based-knowledge and technological advancements in MA research, TR intends to further support future decision-making strategies (aquaculture development, CC mitigation, environmental sustainability, social well-being, blue growth) in alignment with the UN SDGs (especially SDG´s 2, 9 and 14), the EU strategy for blue growth, and the EU green deal initiative. Since 2002, TR has acted as PI (n=5) and team member (n=18) in 23 funded national/international R&D projects (e.g. ERDF, FP5, EMFF, FCT, Assemble plus, The Company of Biologists, PADI foundation). He has published 41 peer-reviewed articles [H-index: 23, citations: 1147]. TR has presented 51 oral (2 by invitation) and 38 poster communications in national and international meetings. He has received national and international recognition by his peers, through scientific awards, grants, travelling fellowships, national and international appointments [member of Frontiers in Mar. Science Editorial Board (since 2021); member of the MARE scientific committee (since 2015); LMG scientific officer for SCUBA diving (since 2015) and animal welfare (since 2019)], reviewer (international peer-reviewed journals, book proposals, since 2011), besides evaluator and rapporteur invitations (e.g. USNSF, Dutch NWO, EU Research Executive Agency - Marie Curie Actions, Science Fund of the Republic of Serbia, Portuguese National Innovation Agency, since 2016). Besides his recent appointment as senior lecturer (MSc in Marine Ecology, FCUL, 2021), he has acted as an invited lecturer within national academic institutions (MSc and BSc courses. FCUL, University of Aveiro, I.P. Santarém, since 2004). Currently, TR supervises 2 post-doctoral researchers, 2 MSc students and 1 Erasmus+ intern. He provides advanced course training to PhD students (doctoral programs in Biology and Marine Sciences, FCUL, since 2015) and experimental tutoring to MSc and PhD students (since 2012). Currently, his international research network spreads over Europe, USA, Australia and South-America. His commitment is also science outreach-oriented (51 school outreach activities, since 2016).
