He has also been CnPq International Evaluator for research projects Brazil since 2012. Fernando is Honorary Researcher at the Surface Inclusive Design Research Centre University of Salford. He is a regular participant in collaborations with national and international universities jury member in several international competitions and member of the scientific commissions of several international scientific journals. He has coordinated or participated in several research projects funded by FCT and the EU published many papers in peer-reviewed scientific journals and written three books and several book chapters.Shaden Jaradat has been Manager of the Sustainable Smart Manufacturing (S2M) conference in Manchester in 2019 which instigated the papers published in this book. He obtained his BA and MSci in Natural Sciences from the University of Cambridge in 2002 and a PhD in Physics from The University of Manchester in 2006 on the topic of Synchrotron Studies of Liquid Crystals. He worked as a Research Associate in the Nonlinear Dynamics and Liquid Crystals Group and the Biological Physics Group University of Manchester between 2007 and 2012. He then moved to the Universitys International Development Division where he developed and managed a number of overseas collaborations and strategic relations. In 2018 Shaden joined the Research Strategy Team in the Faculty of Science and Engineering and has since supported the development of the Universitys Industry 4.0 Strategy. He has also been coordinating some of the Universitys strategic research proposals around smart manufacturing and circular economy and liaised between the University and the Greater Manchester Combined Authority on Industry 4.0 aspects of Manchesters industrial strategy. He published over 17 papers in peer-reviewed journals including Soft Matter Applied Physics Letters and Journal of Materials Chemistry co-edited a Special Issue on Advancements in Mechatronics and Manufacturing Propelling Industry 4.0 in the International Journal of Mechatronics and Manufacturing Systems and co-authored several articles in Industry 4.0 focussed periodicals.
