ACS Publications Webinar Series | Leading the Way in Thermophysical Properties Research
Join this ACS Publications webinar to learn about exciting research in the field of thermophysical property measurement and computation, including the utilization of both experiment and computation in the design and development of sustainable separation processes. Hear from Mr. Pedro Velho, winner of the 2025 Journal of Chemical & Engineering Data Early Career Award.
Pedro Velho is a Ph.D. candidate in Thermodynamics at the Faculty of Engineering at the University of Porto (FEUP) in Portugal. Mr. Velho obtained an Integrated B.S./M.S. degree in chemical engineering with a specialization in Processes and Products at FEUP, and part of his M.S. research leading to a thesis entitled “Development of a More Predictive CPA Equation of State” was carried out at the Technical University of Denmark. Pedro Velho’s research focuses on phase equilibria, equations of state, thermophysical properties, green novel solvents, and thermodynamic modeling of electrolyte-containing systems. The selection committee was particularly impressed by Mr. Velho’s numerous impactful publications, proven record of outreach activity, and wide range of research interests.
