  • 2023 - Research.com Biology and Biochemistry in France Leader Award

Overview

Pedro M. Coutinho is affiliated with Aix-Marseille University in France, where the research focuses on interdisciplinary studies bridging environmental science, materials science, and agricultural and biological sciences. Their work spans both fundamental and applied aspects within these fields, particularly emphasizing areas connected to plant science, biomaterials, and ecological processes.

Their publication record includes recent papers addressing topics such as plant-based biomaterials, agricultural remote sensing, and fungal genomics. Notable recent papers include:

  • Lignin from oil palm empty fruit bunches: Characterization, biological activities and application in green synthesis of silver nanoparticles (2020, International Journal of Biological Macromolecules)
  • EFFICIENT USE OF LANDSAT-8 DATA TO MINIMIZE CLOUD COVERAGE IN THE ANALYSIS OF SOYBEAN, CORN, AND COTTON CULTIVATION (2024, Revista Contemporânea)
  • The FUNG-GROWTH database: linking fungal phenotype to genome (2025, Microbiology Resource Announcements)

Their research topics span multiple domains with a strong emphasis on:

  • Nanoparticles: synthesis and applications
  • Nanocomposite films for food packaging
  • Remote sensing in agriculture
  • Soil and land suitability analysis
  • Soil geostatistics and mapping
  • Plant pathogens and fungal diseases
  • Mycorrhizal fungi and plant interactions

Frequent co-authors involved in research collaborations include Luis Alberto Zevallos Torres, Adenise Lorenci Woiciechowski, Valcineide Oliveira de Andrade Tanobe, Arion Zandoná Filho, and Rilton Alves de Freitas.

Publications appear in peer-reviewed journals such as the International Journal of Biological Macromolecules, Revista Contemporânea, and Microbiology Resource Announcements. Their research covers subfields like materials chemistry, biomaterials, and ecological studies, particularly within plant science, contributing to the understanding of environmental dynamics as well as the development of novel materials.

Their work in materials science explores the characterization and biological applications of plant-derived substances. Within agricultural and biological sciences, studies focus on remote sensing technologies to improve crop monitoring and land use analysis as well as exploring fungal phenotypes related to plant health and soil ecology.
