Bruno Dufau Mattos serves as Senior Scientist at Aalto University's Department of Bioproducts and Biosystems within the School of Chemical Engineering. His research bridges fundamental material science with practical applications in sustainability, contributing to UN Sustainable Development Goals through bio-based materials innovation.
His educational background includes:
- Doctoral degree in Engineering and Technology from Universidade Federal do Paraná (awarded February 20, 2018)
Dr. Mattos specializes in advanced bio-based materials research with expertise spanning composite materials, nanofibers, lignin applications, surface science, polymerization, nanocellulose, and nanoparticles. His work demonstrates particular strength in translating wood biomolecules into functional materials for diverse applications.
His recent publications reveal a research trajectory focused on sustainable material solutions, including textile waste conversion to high-performance composites, novel metal-phenolic networks, super black materials development, and agricultural applications of wood-derived compounds. These works consistently integrate nanocellulose, lignin, and other biopolymers to create advanced functional materials.
As Principal Investigator, Dr. Mattos leads multiple significant projects including FinnCERES Tree2Ink (2025-2026), SuperWood (2024-2028), FinnCERES Competence Centre (2022), CERES BlackWood (2020-2022), and BioELCell (2018-2023), demonstrating sustained research funding and leadership in the bioeconomy field.
His research group within the Bio-based Colloids and Materials unit actively collaborates with international partners, as evidenced by publications with researchers from multiple countries. Media engagement shows his commitment to knowledge dissemination, with appearances discussing wood biomolecules for pesticide efficiency and novel super black materials solutions.
