Dr Vitor Magueijo
Teaching Fellow
Chemical and Process Engineering
Personal statement
Since I became a Teaching Fellow, my scholarship activities have progressively changed from being primarily focused on chemical engineering research, towards being primarily focused on pedagogical/educational research and SoTL.
My chemical engineering research background is quite eclectic and encompasses subjects such as the synthesis, characterization and application of membranes, nanocellulose composites, energy efficiency and rheology.

Research Interests
I am interested on the impact of generative AI on students’ learning, with particular focus on how critical thinking is employed to evaluate and validate the outputs produced by GenAI tools. I am also interested on the influence of teamwork and group dynamics on students’ learning journeys, especially in the context of the capstone design project. In addition, I am involved in curriculum development aimed at promoting inclusive and equitable access while preparing resilient, future-ready graduates.
