Dr. Luís Eduardo Pimentel Real graduated in Chemical Engineering, by the Instituto Superior Técnico (IST), Lisbon, Portugal. He received a PhD in Chemical Engineering (IST, Portugal) and a PhD in Chemistry (UBP, France). He had been working in the Materials Department of National Laboratory of Civil Engineering (LNEC) from 1990 until 2015. Since January of 2016 he works in the Buildings Department of LNEC. Its activity has been very dispersed and covers several fields, namely applied chemistry, degradation and stabilization of polymers, durability, environmental issues (radon and recycling), biocomposites, assessment of construction products and technical advice. He is author and co-author of more than 200 publications, including scientific papers in journals listed on the ISI WEB of Science, communications at international scientific meetings, technical guides and reports, participation in several research European projects and in specialized courses and technical training. He was responsible, from several years, for an accredited laboratory of plastics and composites. He was awarded the degree of specialist in Metrology by the Portuguese Order of Engineers, having carried out numerous activities in the scope of quality control of plastic materials and products, doing Agreement activity and support for certification, technical auditing in plastic pipe factories located in Portugal and Europe, participation in technical committees and working groups.
